Randomness is rampant in moi’s mind this day cycle of no sleep–and my latest posts tell only a small piece of the tale—lucky for you. Much thanks to dave, the lazy photographer trolling Toronto for whatever trips his camera snaps, for inspiring this post about DC. http://lazyphotog.wordpress.com/
These days one HAS to wonder what goes in Washington, DC besides lobbyists going mad. Well, corrupt politics aside, here are a few things that DC has to offer:
Teaism–Not all for the love of tea –there are wonderfully good yum yums for your tum tum. Do NOT pass on the cookies or green tea ice cream.

Way affordable lodging for those willing to share bunks, bathrooms, kitchens and one funky pooltable—-every hostel is unique and this is no exception.
Hankering to play history detective? Oh the National Archives are loaded to the max with all sorts of secrets.

Great Thai food that won’t break your budget can be had at Haad Thai.

Feasts for your eyes at the Freer Gallery–oh for the loves of Whistler don’t miss it.
Oh and yes, there is PUBLIC transportation in DC–the metro runs runs runs–and sometimes there’s live music too–but it’s affordable and reliable and if it’s crowded another train will be along soon—wake up the rest of America and get one of these systems.
