Adventures with Women's March in Washington DC I originally planned to take the train to Baltimore - stay in a Hostel - and take the train to the March in DC. I decided to the local Rally Bus instead thus networking with the local women. We boarded the bus at 3 am and we were advised to pair up with a buddy to keep each other out of trouble. My thought was, I don't need a buddy, I KNOW my way around DC. Nevertheless, a woman asked me about the Metro so we ended up buddying up. The line to the Metro was outrageous so I suggested we get a cab or a Uber and miraculously we hailed a cab. My buddy revealed that her water bottles were filled with Caramel Flavored VODKA!!! She offered the cab driver some. Bad Plan!!! He declined. We were able to connect with the West Virginia women to start the March. I had very good reasons to be at that March but standing in the middle of a Mosh Pit listening to Madonna's potty mouth wasn't one of them. We decided that enough was enough and tried to get out of the Mosh Pit. She finally told everyone that she was going to get sick and everyone moved out of our way. We headed back and ended up at the William Penn House for hot drinks, bathrooms, and reprieve from the crowd. I suggested that we head to East Market and catch the Metro from there. East Market has an abundance of Ethnics Restaurants but she wanted a Hamburger and Fries. Union Station has a food court but the window of time didn't allow for that. We went to a Tai Restaurant instead. I am sure that Tai Food does not go well with Vodka especially for a West Virginia woman. If I drank the amount of Vodka that that woman did, I would not be standing. She handled it quite well. I am happy with my teetotaler status. The woman had never even been on a Metro before. We had to cram into those trains like sardines but we made it back to the bus. She asked if I was going to the April Fool's Protest. I don't think I want to be in the same vehicle with the driver drinking Vodka. She wants to drive this time. I will be going to the Earth Day Protest with my Quaker Friends instead.   Abracadabra  |
