Today we went on a guided walking tour of Washington. It was good but really hot. We saw the Washington monument, the White House and Jefforson memorial in the distance, the relatively new WW2 memorial, the Vietnam war memorial and the Lincoln memorial. I've come to realise that most of the famous landmarks I recognise in America are due to watching the Simpsons! Sadly the reflection pool was empty for rennovation so it is just an expanse of mud. Nevertheless, the view sitting on the Lincoln memorial looking across to the other memorials and buildings was impressive. I also cuddled a cute police horse which was nice. I continue to enjoy the free toilets and water fountains everywhere.
We are now back in our hovel with ants and daddy long legs everywhere. For dinner we shared some microwave pasta (there is a microwave but nothing else, so my collection of plastic cutlery from museum cafes is proving useful). We bought a giant road map today and ripped out all the pages we don't need in preparation for our road trip.
Bitey bitey count: reducing but set to increase.
