We're coming to DC this weekend.

Here's the itinerary our professor just sent out:

If you are driving separately, I will have all extra keys in my possession until you arrive.
Call me when you arrive and I’ll arrange to get you into the room.

If anybody wants to come have brunch and/or hang out, PM me. We won't have a car available, and we don't know much about the area, but if somebody wants to come hang out at the hotel or something, that's totally cool. I think they have a pool!

:woohoo:

1. I had season tix to the Shakespeare Theatre when I lived in DC.

You're in for a real treat (and I see that Floyd King is in the cast of Ion--he's a delight to watch).

2. If you're going to have all-day Metro passes

you can go pretty much anywhere. I'd suggest picking a museum or two on Saturday morning and enjoying them. American History was just renovated, Natural History's cool as can be, Holocaust's sobering (to say the least). I was disappointed with the Native American museum, but I went shortly after it opened and it may have improved since then. Or wander down and spend your morning at the Lincoln Memorial. It really deserves a fair amount of time to be appreciated properly.

Wear comfy shoes.

I'm envious -- have fun!

3. I have no idea if we're going to have passes or not.

I'm also leery of doing too much walking beyond what we absolutely *have* to do, because I'm still going to be recovering (breathing-wise) from influenza, and I'm also asthmatic. If we had more spending money, I'd be fine with just taking a taxi somewhere, but alas, we're going to be on a pretty strict budget.

Still, I think we'll end up having a pretty good time. Wish you were going to be there! We'll take lots of pictures for you. :)

4. Where is the Shakespeare Theater?

I know of the Folger Shakespeare Library.

5. According to the directions, it's at 610 F Street, NW

Whatever that means.

:rofl:

6. Remember that DC was designed to be confusing

to invading armies.

And tourists. :evilgrin:
