So i think i'll go shopping!
I just came back from DC yesterday. That was by far the longest drive i ever did.
But before talking about the ride home... Washington is wonderful!
We rented a bike and saw all the important monument.
(much funnier with a Romania accent)
We took so many pics, i felt like such a tourist! But what a better city to feel like a tourist in?
The next day we went to the zoo. one of those places you just have to go... NOT! but it was so much fun. We walked for about 2-3 hours. I think i was doing more sport activity then i did for the past 8 years!
Saw a Lion, a giraffe and Dragons. Oh, wait, those are the animals we didn't see.We did see a panda, and even took a pic with.
Unbelievable but i got an elephant to kiss me!
All the DC shlichim and guest were invited for dinner at Tamara's house. It was so nice to get together with old friends and meet new ones.
Shaulski and I had an emotional reunion for half of the Hot-Fire room. and finally we met Racheli the fellow in Maryland. (we were both interviewed there, i couldn't not wonder what made them choose her. might be the sport nut she is!)
Anyways, she is great and invited ll of us to go to the Newseum (the news museum) so as my mom told me- i can't be in DC and not go to a museum. So not only i went to a museum it was an interesting one as well!
So, yeah, the city is great. we went out to restaurant, coffee shops and bars. So much to do, so little time... at least i got to have pizza in the toaster oven!
I had a bus back to MTL at 7 pm. and here the story really begins.
I took a but from NY that should have got to MTL at 8 am, thinking i'll get there, go home, take a shower and go to work after sleeping through the whole drive.
well as a smart (dead) men said - "Life is what happens to you while you busy making other plans..."
we had to get off the bus in Albany to get it refueled and this lady didn't want to get off. She started cursing the driver and for half an hour the driver told her she is not going to the next stop with him.
she didn't.
she got her by herself.
she waited for the bus to get there and caught the driver, standing on the stairs not letting the driver close the door. yelling something about she want her ticket back. when the driver tried to move her and her 14 year old (giant) son she freaked out totally, jumped on the driver scratching and hitting him.
at that point the driver couldn't stay polite and jumped right back at her punching and hitting who ever came at him.
and me, as an ex-soldier jumped right out of the bus calming everyone down.
yeah, right. that was so scary i didn't know what to do!
we all just set there, some people called the police.
and then after the driver got rid of that stupid biatch (excuse my language) the police we called stopped the bus and investigate everyone that was on the bus!
How the hell they want me to take that seriously when the all have mustaches?!
Beside the feeling i was in a "Law and Order" episode, i got back at 12!
So, looking at this view- of ,MTL (!) was such a relief.
I was so happy to be back where i can't understand what they are saying on the metro. and of course it took me 3 times to understand the announcement is that my metro line isn't working, so i only got home at 1pm. That's 18 hours on the road!
Even in India i was never on the road for so long. Mexico is getting closer to that.
Coming back here i had to get myself together real quick. There is so much to do!
I'm meeting a lot of students, new and old. There are so many events going on. Our next 2 weeks is so "occupied" I LOVE IT!
But after such a full and wonderful weekend coming back "full gaz" to work isn't so easy.
I starting missing people and getting the blues..
Well, two pairs of shoes did the work. Smile is back on...
