Other things that happened in DC

Jennifer fell off her bike, it was a slow-motion fall onto grass while attempting to get going, so no injuries.

Jennifer got carded at the Bed, Bath and Beyond while buying booze (two weird things at once, the fact that they sell wine and the fact that Jennifer got carded, more than two decades past the drinking age).

At one of the hotel wine receptions, we attempted to sit on the four person couch, which looked like it had two empty spaces, the older lady on one end quickly informed us that 'my husband is sitting here' and put a newspaper there to save the spot.  After 10 minutes with no husband, she proceeded to call him on her mobile and asked him to come down and get her as it was 'getting creepy' down in the lobby.  He came down, did not sit down and they left immediately.  The rest of us left in the lobby laughed and were appalled at her behaviour, but it allowed us to chat with several other guests and find out some great local restaurants.

We are giving a shout-out to the couple from Leeds who attended the Tour de France at Alpe d'Huez this year, she kissed Rui Costa and he won the next stage - talk about good luck.  They are excited that the 2014 Tour is starting less than 20 miles from their house and advised we must attend, it is super exciting!
