Mambo Sauce (Days 67-71)

There are heeps of free things to do in D.C.
The Lincoln Memorial is huge, I never realized it from photos.
People are actually out doing things at night, yeah!
Bicycle riders everywhere, yipee!
Being in the city again is odd. People are too busy, TV sucks, my one change of clothes is no longer fashionable, restaurants are expensive, and I am paranoid someone will run off with Demetrii. On the plus side, I don't feel strange telling people I am vegetarian and no one mentions my piercings.

Day 67:
Left late and rode a short distance to arrive in D.C., much of which was on some nice bike trails. Made it to Mike and Trina's place (Warmshowers.org) around 7:00PM. Mike and Trina have an awesome apartment right near almost everything in D.C. I care to see. They have done their own Transamerica cycling tour, as well as a few other tours, so we shared some stories until bed time and I crashed pretty hard. (42.7 miles)
Day 68:
10.6 miles
-National Museum of Natural History
-National Gallery of Art
Day 69:

-The White House
-Picked vegetables at Department of Interior with Sarah (A girl I met coming into town that inquired about my heavy baggage that I randomly met up with again while riding today. She is a horticulturist for the government and took me to a little garden that we ransacked before riding around in the rain.)
-Got soaking wet in the rain
