Last hours

It is 3.52 am and I am awake. Is anyone surprised?

Have very little packing left though so after three blissful hours of sleep (four last night, argh) I will hopefully be able to make it on time.

Yesterday we went to an NHL game! Washington Capitals vs Detroit Red Wings, which finished 3-2 to the Caps. This morning we (three interns and no other people other than the guide!) got a tour of the heart of American defense - the Pentagon. I am too tired to write coherent sentences, will sleep now.

Inside the Capitol

John F Kennedy Center for Performing Arts

One of the things I regret here, having three days left in Washington, is that I have not gone to more free concerts in the Kennedy Center (especially since I have a perfect view of it from my window). Every day at 18, there is a free performance at the so-called Milennium Stage. So far I have only seen a Rockabillyish band, a Swedish child performance artist, a Ukrainian/Russian folk music band, and today some men from the Airforce orchestra (I was a bit disappointed by the lack of uniforms though). Shame.



Bonus info: We discovered today that the glass chandeliers were donated by Swedish Orrefors in the 60's, in honour of JFK.

Julian Casblancas

Yesterday we went to a concert with the Strokes member gone solo, Julian Casablancas. Must be the coolest name in the world.
