Saturday morning, way too early on the mall
alexandrajones14:
Everything's going splendidly at this point...
alexandrajones14:
...and not so splendidly at this point. The scene of the crash: one slimy, fractured concrete ramp in the shade with no warning sign. Enough to make you want to litigate in the true American way! If only we hadn't disobeyed the 'road closed' signs- oops.
alexandrajones14:
Ways to get out of town on a Saturday morning. We chose the 2 wheeled option.
alexandrajones14:
Don't let the muddy exterior fool you, this isn't someone who would fall off a bike...
alexandrajones14:
That's your girl: "Working today for a better tomorrow"...or something like that
alexandrajones14:
Biking the Mt Vernon trail: remind me next time not to be convinced by other Australians to go for a leisure ride on Saturday morning that ends up being 50km...
alexandrajones14:
Mt Vernon: Washington's House. It appeared most of the locals turned up in their weekend finest to pay their respects to their first president...don't mind us, the couple of very dirty, sweaty Australians.
alexandrajones14:
Right to bear arms.
alexandrajones14:
Mount Vernon, Colonial Fair
alexandrajones14:
Local natives
alexandrajones14:
And when you've just ridden 35km one way and worked up a bit of a hunger, what else would you want but a giant, colonial style smoked turkey leg?
alexandrajones14:
Caught in a rather compromising position!
alexandrajones14:
Gareth: enjoying his turkey leg. Kind of.
alexandrajones14:
Defeated.
alexandrajones14:
Washington's house. Doesn't look so big next to that pecan tree.
alexandrajones14:
Nearrrrrrly home...
alexandrajones14:
H-Street Festival: Welcome to our 'hood
alexandrajones14:
The Biergarten is all well and good, but nothing goes down easier (or cheaper) than $2 PBRs at the Rock and Roll Hotel when you're dehydrated after a long ride in the sun.
alexandrajones14:
A diverse crowd we are round here...
alexandrajones14:
'and oldies'? Any americans care to translate what this means?
alexandrajones14:
This guy had three of these dogs. Trying to prove something?
alexandrajones14:
The Omnivore's Dilemma
