Washington D.C

Friday the 24th, the day I waited so long for to go on vacation with Sarah!
My alarm rang at 5.20 in the morning and I was surprised, I really stood up quickly. Sarah was still sleeping, so I had the chance to take my time in the bathroom.
5.40 Sarah is still sleeping, but it was a big problem because she wanted to take a shower!
Knock, Knock Sarah it is 5.40
Are you kidding? She jumped, no it wasn't jumping it was more like turning very slowly, out of her bed because she was so tired. She had a good reason to be so tired. Sarah I forgive you! While she took a shower I made coffee and my bed. Poor Sarah, no coffee because the taxi was already standing in front of the house. :-(
6.05 we were sitting in the taxi on our way to the airport.
When we arrived the airport, I noticed that we could check in there on our own Sarah wrote all the informations the computer needed in and we got our tickets. We brought our suitcases over to a person and that was all. No standing in a line and waiting for ages. No, five minutes. Crazy I have never seen something like this before. Maybe the reason is that I am only used to fly in Europe ;-)
While we were waiting for our plane, I anoyed Sarah that I wanted to take a pic from the arrival screen, till I left her to find one. She was so nice and bought fresh Bagels with cream cheese and we had Starbucks coffee. By the way I love Starbucks! It is the best coffee ever
We were bitching a little bit, laughing to loud so that other people may be thoought we were stupid, but the most important thing was that we had fun!
Before I forget it: Controlling of our bags. Sarah was standing in a different line than me and she finished earlier. I put all my stuff in this little box, plus my shoes!, and they controlled it. Haha they found something in my bag! The guy there grapped into my bag and found two big candy canes. This was the time when I really got red! It was so bad. But this is so typical, no one else would try to bring candy canes on a plane, but Lara has to try it! At the end I could take them on the plane and Sarah and me we enjoyed licking them, haha that sounds bad!
The flight was really good, and I hadn't to pay for my drink like in the company called Spanair. I have to bitch about this right now, because I had never to pay for my drink before on an airplane, but these guys took 50cent for juice! Thank you that you feel with me.... Here you have a few on Lake Michigan
We arrived at 11.30 and at 12 at the hostel. Sarah, I forgive you again, but to say the truth, it was really bad, wasn't it?! I felt like on my class trips in school.
First of all we didn't get our room till 2pm, so we had to bring our suitcase downstairs in the basement, but all these lockers were used. haha very funny I never laughed so much
We put them behind the lockers and hoped that no one would take them away.
We left the bloody hostel and here started our real trip!
Look there is a huge building, look on your map what it is: it is the U.S Capitol
we were so exited and especially when we noticed that this was the place when Forrest Gump had his speech in the movie and Jenny ran through the water! We took a lot of pics. After a while, when we went closer to the Capitol, we noticed that there were standing policemen on the walls, hui terrorists! Sarah and me in front of the U.S Capitol and the Washington Monument
We were not sure if we could ask this guy, the policeman with his huge gun, to take a pic with the two of us or if he would kill us. We decided not to do it!

Here is this policeman when you zoom it then you can see his huge gun, every man would like to play with this one!
So we took a photo of him from far away ;-) you really have respect, when you see what guns they have on their body! YES, we play a little bit war
After this we made a short stop in the botanic gardens. Not really interesting.
We saw the air and space museum, which we thought was boring but Sarah got only exited when she saw the costume from two of the actors who played in the Wizard of Oz. I liked R2D2 from Star Wars more ;-)









We left and went over to the Washington monument to take some photos. After that we left the atractions because we had already 5pm and we were really hungry.
But not before seeing the White House, this was the one I wanted to see. It was shit! Too far away and with this bloody fence too bad to take good pictures. I know I shouldn't have done this but I started bitching about Bush right in front of the White House, luckily no one heard me only Sarah and it is so good because she has the same opinion than me!
and The pizza place we chose wasn't the best one and too expensive for this we got.
At 7pm we went with other people from the hostel for an one our tour through Georgetown (there is more action because of many students). Here we saw the university, Kennedys 1st and 2nd house and the famous stairs from the movie The Exorzist.
Yeah, Sarah really wanted to try to get me in a pub, but I knew before that the bloody americans wouldn't let me in, because they are idiots. So Sarah and me we had to do something else. We tried to go shopping, but after I found boots which didn't fit, I wasn't happy anymore and anyway we were so tired from the walking around. We had some ice and of course coffee at Starbucks. At the ice-cream place there was this old guy, who told us we would be special, because we weren't so grumpy than the other girls there.
He told me that I would have a wonderful smile, and asked me if I would have kids. Hahaha am I looking so old, or what?! He said, that my husband have to treat me very good when he will take me as his wife. Ha fun! I am not lying, I say the truth and I am crossing my heart right in the moment
Listen: I am special, so from now on treat me very well!!!
We tried to catch the bus but this bloody thing didn't want to arrive so when it arrived we were two ice cubes after standing so long outside! I was happy when we were sitting in it, but after a while Sarah noticed that we caught the wrong one. haha, so the bus driver let us out on a street and told us to catch an other one. I was near shitting my pants when I saw what was around us. Homeless people wherever you were looking. It was so scary, and the only thing I wanted at that moment was a taxi, which we got after five minutes.
I tell you this city by night is not the best place you can be. With a group of twenty people I would be scared!
