Following HIS Lead

Thursday we saw the sights of Maryland and more of DC. We stayed the night with Val's friend Thao, who is a art student at MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art). Let me just tell you, sleeping on hardwood floors isnt the greatest, especially if it feels like your sleeping in an armpit, and there are semitrucks driving down the street at 6am, but on the upside, Thao was an awesome host-she made us crepes and showed us "the real" Baltimore...tacky flamingos, Mexican wrestling masks, and junkie antique/thrift stores.



After seeing the sites in Baltimore, we headed back to DC where we visited the Smithsonian. we saw the air and space museum and the american history one. it was kinda funny seeing a lot of things that i grew up with on display in a museum.




For dinner, we met up with one of Val's buddies and he took us to a great Thai place in Virginia, close where he lives...He's doing an internship at the dep. of justice and lives outside the city. After dinner, we headed out to Philadelphia, but didnt quite make it cause we got stuck in traffic...yeah who gets stuck in traffic at midnight? me and val do. so we ened up staying on the Delaware border, where we hoped to again update our blogs, but it didnt happen.
