quick recap!!!

Hey Ho everyone!

We are currently in Washington DC, our last night at Hope and Halli's house... it is 9:45 and we are leaving for pittsburgh at 4am tomorrow morning!!!!!
So, what have we been doing these past days... I wont tell you everything coz it'll take to long and it'll be pretty boring, but the highlights (if I remember).

Oh, very important... we were walking around N.Y. and I was taking pitures of the beautiful shop windows and all of a sudden the camera STOP WORKING!!!!!!!! shit, bollocks!! how could this happen to me, only 13 days after I bought it!!!! I soooo should have bought the more expensive one, cheap piece of "£$%&/($£... and to make matters worse, the next day was the last day in new york!!!!! ok, deep breaths... everything will be ok!!!!! So the next day we go back to the store where I got it with most of the stuff that came with it (obviously I had thrown away the box... something I will never again do!!!!!!!) and we go in and stand in line... my turn "hello m'am, how may I help you?", "yes, Hi, I bought this camera and now it wont turn itself on, i dont know what happened" (obviously not telling her that I had actually dropped it once... but it was a short fall... probably not the reason for its malfunction). Ok, well please wait while our techician checks it out... ok, no prob. La la la, about 30min later the lady comes over to me and tells me that they will change it for me, I have everything with me right??? yes, ofcours, everything... ok, "and you have the box??" ummmmmmmmmm...... maybe not... is that a problem????? "m'am, Im sorry but it says on the reciept (that pietro made me keep... thank you sooooo much pietro i love you!!!!!) that withought the box you cant return it!!!" (trying to hold back very real tears!!!) "but, I only just bought it, and it was a gift, please, I will pay for the box, I dont need another box... who cares about a stupid BOX!!!!! is there nothing you can do??????(eyes glistening with tears!!!!!) I think the poor girl felt sorry for me (and so she bloody well should, I felt very sorry for me!!!) and so se said she would deal with it, and voila!!!! new camera!!!!!!! beautiful camera!!!!! Im so happy, so you should all be thanking this very pretty and nice girl in some shop in new york that the blog isnt back to being boring and without photos!!!!!
.....Pietro thinks the camera died coz of the photos I was taking, i disagree, and ill let you be the judge!!!! it is a photo of a woman dancing with a man with a crocodile's head


hmmmm, pietro told you all about stomp, that was great, and after that we got back to the hostel (still in new york here) and in the kitchen there were some people chatting, so being the social people that we are we sat down and started chatting too... after about 20min of chatting one of the girls says "oh yeah, its pretty expensive, but not as expensive as Iceland"!!!!!! "what, have you been to Iceland?????!!!! when?????" and she says "no, we are from there"!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA can you imagine, there are bloody 300000 of us and then I randomly met two of them in a random hostel in new york!!!!!!that was soooo cool!!!!
Anyway, next day we get up traumatically early (7am) to catch the the bus to philadelphia for a day of walking around and then a second bus to DC. so anyway we arrive in Philly with our huge big backpacks on our shoulders, ready to stash them somewhere and have a great day of exploring, only to find out that after the 9/11 attack there are no lockers available anywhere in the whole city!!!!!!!! so after getting very sad and desparate a kindly woman tells us that for a small price of $12 we can buy a ticket in the "constitution centre" (a museum on the american constitution) and leave our baggage in the cloakroom for the whole day!!!!! great idea. so we do and we set off!!! "what interesting things are there to see in philly" you might ask yourself... well... ummmmmm... there are about 100 different things to see if you are interested in the american declaration of indipendence and the constitution and that (which I was... for the first 2 hours...but then it kinda gets old!!!!!) and then that is about it!!!! they are really proud of having been the capital of the US and well... good for them, but guys get over it!!!!! (pietro and filippo enjoyed it... or so they say, but I think its just coz they want to be contrary).

Anyway, we arrived at DC at around 11pm and Hope had booked us a room in a hostel a little out of the centre of washington... we got there and found this really great place... loads of people just chilling, the owner there chatting with the clients (in the morning there was another guy that I think was either very high, or he used to get very high and kinda fried his brain a bit!!!!!) and me and pietro thought "oh my god... we have found our vocation!!!!!"

ummm, i just realised that the photo's for this new part of the journey are still on the camera, and it is upstairs... and I cant be bothered to go get it, so once again you will have to wait....

take care all, till next time!!!
