dc and final scores

hi

first thing we did after my last post was eat ethiopian food, and i can't recommend it. i think they gave us really crappy food because we were white, and clearly had no idea what we were doing. i will admit, that it tasted amazing, but the only utensil we were given was the horrible spongy batter cake, that tasted and textured so poorly.

so, after a brief attempt to find a wachovia (win) and a dramatically longer attempt to navigate the dc metrobus system (fail), we hit the monuments. in order:

wwii
vietnam
lincoln
korea
washington

there are hella pictures but i'll let diana explain why they won't be uploaded here, today.

we searched in vain for a ben and jerry's but to no avail.

the single additional occupant that i mentioned earlier has now become four additional occupants, none of which have made contact

two of them have union jack blankets. (and have made contact as i type (they seem cool)).

here are the final scores for high way shenanigans.

license plate game:
diana (18)- pennsylvania, new york, rhode island, florida, ohio, alabama, massachusetts, iowa, deleware, ontario, vermont, california, wyoming, illinois, south carolina, wisconsin, washington dc, diplomat

jake (11)- connecticut, maryland, virginia, montana, maine, idaho, west virginia, quebec, texas, oklahoma, kansas, government, -1 for false guess

mb (2)- oregon, north carolina, georgia, -1 for false guess

ricky (0)-

yellow car game:

jake 16
diana 12
ricky 2
mb 0

slug bug:

mb- 6
jake- 4
diana- 2
ricky- 0

ricky is upset that we're imposing a no night life policy. oh well. probably new orleans will be his time to shine. but we just got started, and those of us who didn't sleep in the car are exhausted, so we need him to behave.
