Washington DC

Ok, we've gotten properly on the road. Jet lag woke us up at 4 AM, we took a refreshing dip in the motel swimming pool and hit the road. We've noticed that American drivers like to speed a bit more than Finns. If the limit is 55, the traffic in general moves at 65 mph and they don't really slow down for work areas where the limit is 45.

In Washington DC we're lodging at Capitol City Hostel. It's not the most modern I've been in but the owner more than makes up for it - thumbs up. City itself hasn't so far impressed me or Otter. We've walked our feet off at the mall, seen the sights and visited Air & Space Museum but meh. Tomorrow should be more lively. Günther on the other hand is still full of energy sipping his drink of Jaloviina and Dr.Pepper.

Vaultboy felt right at home.

Oh and good luck trying to find a restaurant, grocery store or anything else at the mall. The only places to get drinks and snacks are the street vendors.

It's slightly warm in here.

    If you are not already familiar with them, you should go and check out Five Guys for your burger needs. A bit pricier than the competition but the freshness and the taste, yummy!

    P.S. Normal fries are usually enough for two, do not take large fries alone! :) Also remember the free refills so no need to take a large drink if you're not stocking up for the drive.

    Thanks for the tip! Heading out to non-governmental Washington today so maybe we'll bump into that.
