Operation AT & T and Postcards

Well, how long would you think it would take to get some credit on your phone or find a postcard, maybe a walk down the road?? We arrived in DC on Monday afternoon and it is now Thursday. We have made numerous amounts of trips to the Giant supermarket and you think they have phone cards or postcards, no of course not!!! We went to Adams Morgan and you think I could find anything, no! Beca found a couple of postcards but I didn't like them much as they weren't touristy enough for me. So I gave up on that really quickly! When we went back to Giant I decided to ask them if they carried phone cards and they said try CVS just down the road, so off I go to CVS.
We arrived at CVS drowned in sweat and Beca found credit for her phone but there was nothing that resembles my carrier. "Do you have any AT & T phone cards as there is none out" I ask, "Sorry we don't stock them" the lady said. So, off we go again looking for somewhere else that would remotely look like they'd stock phone cards. I said to Beca "7eleven should have them". We walk inside and there is heaps of Hispanic people everywhere pushing and shoving, and I finally make it to the counter and I ask one worker for a phone card and he then told me to see the other guy at the other counter, all I want is a phone card!!!! So, again, I line up and ask for the same thing, finally he said they only have cingular, but isn't cingular and AT & T the same?! Well yep it is. Eventually I get my credit Thursday arvo, but still no postcards!

Trip to DC

So just before we (Beca and myself) left for Syracuse I found out that I would be driving the team car back to Sheba's house in Washington DC. That was all going to be fine but we would have to spend Sunday night at Bellie's place in Lancaster and say our goodbyes especially to evil kitty! This is Mocha the cat, he is all fluffy and looks sooo cuddly but don't you dare go near him cause he will hiss at you and swipe at your legs...lucky for us he has no front claws!!!!
We get up in the morning and have our breakfast etc. I went out to the car as I knew it had to be repacked. Our mission was to fit all of our possessions including our bikes into the Toyota Matrix along with the 6 wind trainers, team tent, esky (cooler) and all the team bags! We could have put the bikes on the roof but we had a shopping mission for a part of the day, so it all happened, we managed to get everything in! I couldn't see out of any windows besides the drivers, front passengers and obviously the windscreen, but that's ok.
After our shopping was over we headed to DC. All of our directions were great til map quest said turn right after going through a roundabout. We never come across one, but we figured out that they must have meant the square part of the road that looked nothing like a roundabout it was just a turn. So we did a tour of DC and eventually made it to our destination. We get out of the car and there is all these people sitting on the wall arguing then they start asking us questions like "how many of dose do you hav in the car??" They were talking about our bikes. We finally got the car unpacked and were walking out the door heading to Giant (the supermarket) and one of the brothers of the hood asks Beca and I if we wanted to go out on a double date to the movies! Well we didn't know what to say as we could only just make out what he was saying!!! We just had to laugh and keep walking. What an adventure!! Til the next one
