cityboy....? Washington DC---hot, hot, hot! Yet managed to move around by foot most of Saturday--including that hideously long walk from Metro Center to Kalorama Guest House, two miles atleast? That evening, nothing to do---excited by the movement in the neighborhood, should have been too tired to go out, but saw that it would be impossible to sleep, if I were not completely tired. So walked endlessly around the neighborhood, really consisting of two different aspects: the strip---down 18street, many bars and places to eat; all looked kind of garish, not feeling like a drink---so walked up and down alot, finally ended up having a sandwich at Subways--actually kind of good tunafish! Then the hotel itself sits in an area to the left of the strip, that is residential---some beautiful houses around the block--wonder if they are co-ops or full houses----finally sat and read at Starbucks on the corner from like 10 to 11--(not really as oridinary as it seems, this Starbucks attracted more than its share of young women and was pretty crowded). After that returned to guest house exhausted, and really had no trouble sleeping, atleast until 5:30 A.M., which was a relief. A really good breakfast, the place offered everything, and then off to the game with Bob. Returned to Union Station, hung out, changed my ticket to an upgrade (which I felt was important) and returned home.
Thought I would not make the Coney Island trip with language department from Friends, but actually did, and enjoyed it. Had never eater at Tatiana's on the beach. Really liked it----though I never really go out there. Perhaps will take some friends, but who knows.
Graduation fun--said my goodbyes to several students who I am very fond of, but missed some I really liked, like Cherly W, Carrie, Sarah, Zannie, Nate and Noah (who I go all the way back with to his fifth grade). Hope that I do get a chance to see them before they leave to college.
Woke up very warm this morning---slept a bit, counsled tutoring Chelsea, too many risks of the subway blacking out,) and will just wait for the diiner with the Friends Group.
