Arrived in DC!

We arrived in Washington DC!
The journey was relatively painless to be honest, I had a good night sleep and here I am! Absolutely loving it so far, Washington DC seems especially good! For America, everything seems really close together so it saves us hiring a car to get about. We are staying in the Grand Hyatt right in Downtown DC. I went for an extremely historic run this morning. Thanks to all the tourist attractions being cramped into a 1 mile radius from our hotel, I took in probably the most sites ever on one run! Apparently Washington has 16.5 million tourists every year – and I can see why! White house, capitol hill, reflecting pool, national archives, history museum, war memorials, the mall and some far 1 minute efforts using Washington Monument as my loop 
It is so expensive though…phew! Eating out 3 times a day is not cheap anyway… and especially not here. The Bell boy also wasn’t impressed when I tipped him 75 Cents for taking up 2 bike bags and 2 heavy bags! I looked in the manual after he left and it said the recommended amount is $1.50 per bag! Â NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!
Feeling pretty good though, run was swift this morning and did some good 50’s in the pool! I hope it all comes together this weekend. I’m going to be nice and rested for this one so will be good to see what I can do… It’s all experimenting this year 
Really have to go, Im meeting Barack in Starbucks, I hope he doesn’t bring his lap top…
