Washington D.C. -
Hello world! I´m back. I´m sorry I couldn´t write on the last days, but I was very very busy arranging my trip to Washington and organizing all my stuff for college (teachers were very kind with me, altough I have some papers to do and send for the classes).
Yesterday a long day flying. Arrived to Bogota´s airport at 7 a.m., had breakfast and took off at 10 a.m., arrived at Orlando at about 1:40 p.m. and was going to have an overlay for four hours, but could make it to an earlier flight, so I arrived in Washington at 5:30 p.m.
Took a shuttle to the wrong hotel (I thought I was going to stay on a Doubletree) but when I arrived to the hotel, my name didn´t show up on the front desk´s screen…So, I had to review on the internet which was the hotel I booked in. I found it, and wasn´t far away, but had to take a cab. Was raining, and still raining.
Met with one of my best friends Lucas, who is VP for a colombian tv channel, and had to come to the U.S. for work for a few days, so we went for dinner nearby, because of the pouring rain, and the coldness we are having in D.C.
Today woke up at 7 a.m. to go for breakfast again with Lucas at 8 a.m. at his hotel. Delicious brunch, but still raining and I wanted to walk, so I tried for a few blocks, but it´s messy with this rain. So, I took a cab, and here I am writing to you. On a few hours I´ll be checking out, and moving to a hotel near Dupont Circle, which is an area that I know better, because here, I´m a little bit lost, and don´t really know in which direction I should walk to find something, just something.
My plans for today are museum plans. I think I want to go to the Newseum (is a great journalism museum, chek it out at www.newseum.org), and to the FBI Museum, which they were remodeling one and a half year ago, last time I was in D.C. Hope it stops raining.
I miss Cata, a lot. But she´s coming on saturday, which makes me really happy.
Write to you later, and thanks to the followers all around the globe!
