I should have had an overdose on too many Starbucks (reposted unedited from 18/8/13)

That's Lady GaGa for you less uneducated folk!

Today was always going to be a full day. Its' s Sunday in DC. It is our last full day  here. Nick remains sick but managed to stick with us for most of the day. I'm positive his competitive spirit will help him pull thru to allow him to lead the way once again.. Gary survived a night by himself venturing north out of town to another bar. He was disappinted I didn't go with him but my battery is running rather low. Anyway, he saw another great blues band and made it back by himself. I am envious of his stamina and drive.

Anyway, today we did a thousand things, or so it seems given I have just returned form the sports bar next door to our hotel - those Yankees beat the Redsox, wowee wot a game. Museums galore , all free, more  uses, mofe walkinb, more beers and more food. We're beginning to feel ghere is a pattern - drink eat sleep drink eat sleep... yep, that'll do it. DC is a little like Canberra, but a tad bigger. While it has a population of a bit more than 600, 000, it covers a huge land mass to allow for their memorials. This is memorial city. After visting a significant number of memorials since yesterday I could be forgiven for not having seen a memorial for the forgotten memorials. All good though. We even got acouple of snaps of the Pentagon, which is not ever to be photographed at all. You'd probably better log off now as you could be instigated in a national diplomatic incident given I have made you aware of our criminal act..

The night has ended after a fantastic Italian meal, with accompanying tempranillo wine, followed by a nightcap with Gary to end another amazing day. Made a friend at the bar a local I think of the name of Grandpa simpson - Gary had to rescue me as I couldn't get away.. Gotta love these Americans. They are full of it.

Anyway its 1am again! Goddamn, darnit, shoot... tomoz/today we fly to San Diego. I've had too many sherbets and I, m falling to peep....

Ths moral of the story is, if ever you need a toilet, or as my new friends say, restroom... go to Starbucks as there are no public conveniences anywhere. Avoid embarrasenmt and don't wet yerself haha!!!
