Washington DC

We flew to New York, landed in the morning, and left quite quickly to go to Washington DC, to visit Taylor for the weekend!!! The bus took long enough, but not much more than 5 hours, and then he picked us up, we went to a restaurant and then had a scenic drive through Washington DCs nicest parts. Saw the skyline(hehe) from the big cathedral and the main shopping street and more. Went home to his parents house, skyped with Ayumi in Japan, and then had to get some sleep. Had big plans about getting up early, but woke up at 9:30, when Taylor came to tell us the time and maybe we wanted to get up.. Hehehe! Went sightseeing after breakfast, saw the White House, Capitol, Washington Monument and Natural History Museum and Air and Space museum, where they had a planetarium, which we definitely need to build in Norway, great stuff! The weather was not so good, so it was great to be in Washington, where almost all the museums are free and very good! :) Cooked dinner(or Taylor and K cooked, I watched..) and made a lot lot lot of popcorn with butter and salt and watched Annie Hall on digital TV:)
Sunday we got up slightly earlier, left to see all the memorials, saw Jefferson, Roosevelt, Second World War, Lincoln and Vietnam War memorials, quite happy with all of that sightseeing in one day!
And all of a sudden the weekend had passed, and we said goodbye to Taylor(again) and cried a bit(again) and took the bus to New York!! Arrived quite late, and was met by Heine, a norwegian philosopher who had said yes to let us sleep in the livingroom for a few nights, but that is a different story!
