She's a practicing attorney so she spent a lot of time on the phone and in court but the rest of the time, she showed me around.

In between, I formed an ever-so-slight a bond with her dog Monroe. (I normally am fairly civil-to-cold toward pets, though it doesn't seem to stop most of them from trying to be my friend.) Here is a picture of the pretty girl:

I'm taking sponsors who will front me $30 to become a Flickr premium member. :) More on DC visit later. (I'm posting from Colleen's computer, thanks, Colleen!) In a few minutes, I'm headed to New Jersey to visit my third high school friend on this leg of the tour, Shirlie. And then after that it's NYC!
