Well, my sightseeing plans got all wet. Literally. I went out to catch a bite to eat and it started pouring. So when I finished eathing I just came back to the hotel. Still got drenching wet. But hey, I grew up in Amarillo where stuff like this happens. When you live in a place where it rains horizontally for 10 years you just get used to being wet.
I made a point of finding a hotel that was a) within walking distance of my meetings, b) within walking distance of the Mall, and c) had a high speed internet connection. This is my first trip to such a hotel since I switched my phone service to Vonage. I brought along my wireless router and my Vonage device (with phone). I've been blogging and checking e-mail wirelessly and calling relatives from my home phone all in the convenience of my hotel. I LOVE technology!
Tomorrow I'll do the sight thing. I'm thinking I may go to the Holocaust Museum this time. I don't know what else I'll do. Last year I never even made it close to Capitol Hill and I may not make it that far this time either. I'm not a big traveller, but I D.C. is totally different. There is just so much here that speaks to the history of our nation.
More later.
