Washington, DC

Since the CGA has found its place in the nations capitol over the past week our green message of sustainability through consumerism has tinkled into the thoughts and curiosities of local students, businessmen, health connoisseur travelers and passersby. Storming the monuments armed with free hug signs, tricoloured LED lights, and the latest technology in bubble making was a great way to warm up to the city and break it in. Having Steven and Sarah in town has added to the enthusiasm of the tour. Yesterday the crew got a chance to explore the Smithsonian and the day before I got a one on one day in the city. My steps began uptown in Adams Morgan as I gave a farewell to a friend I quickly found myself wandering towards the monuments. The white house was my first destination, after years of curiosity the time had come. Not quite as grandiose as expected, the capitol building on the other hand was quite profound. I have never seen rats the size of cats since this city, and cockroaches that could devour a small town, but I have to say the squirrels are quite personable, especially when food is within reach. Thanks to Anthony for a magnificent meal and a decedent dessert, you have quite the skills in the kitchen and I appreciate all of your hospitality.
