Washington DC. 4133 total miles

WE MADE IT! Kiwi will post the injuns in front of the Lincoln memorial and also the white house from the other direction. Guessing constitution avenue has not seen a 37 and 45 injun for a while if ever. We felt like we were shittin' in REAL tall cotton. Looked like the police did too as they were across the street waiting for us to put our hands in the air as we drove off. Some folks just don't know a good photo opportunity when they see one. We left Virginia this morning in the mist. Knew it was raining in the dc area so were not too anxious to get going. I even went back to sleep after my 5 a.m. E mail sending and paper reading. We originally thought we might have a bit of a challenge with the red neck gps trying to get in to and around dc. Not a problem. We actually had to get to patriot Harley where the bike will be detailed tomorrow by our main man art. We flew up the 95 freeway and headed down the 123 for fairfax. While sitting at a stop light we asked a tow truck driver for directions and off we went. Drove right to the spot. As luck would have it there was a motel right across the street. When we tried to check in they had no rooms. Ummmmm bummer. Then the guy said I have a 1pm. Room hold so if you can wait for 6 minutes I will maybe have a room. The guy did not call or show up so at 1:00.01 I had my visa on the counter. Got the room so we are set for tonight and tomorrow. Had a great Mexican lunch across the street. Best damn enchiladas I have had for a long time. Real big pieces of chicken not the usual mystery meat. Got some sketchy directions to the Washington memorial and just figured we would see the damn thing sticking up in the air and work our way to it. Old injun trick. Ha ha. Worked like a charm. We pulled as closeto the thing as we could and just parked the bikes. Got some fabulous pics. As I said before ,we were out of there one step ahead of the police. They might not have the same sense of humor as officer moss and sergeant felts when we were apprehended yesterday. Found our way back to the hotel no problem. Even stopped on the way so we could sop up some heinekens tonight. We have no miles to travel tomorrow so are not concerned about when we get to bed or get up. Feels pretty weird right now and almost a let down. We have had soooooooo much fun seeing and experiencing America I don't want to stop this way of life. If not for my beautiful and wonderful bride back home I might just keep going. It will take us a couple of days to get reset and ready for the true nature of the trip which is to ride for those who are not able. This humbling experience will never be forgotten and perhaps not duplicated by us. I am overwhelmed by what we have accomplished. It will take some time to process the event and also get ready to experience a whole new ambiance when the rest of the 450,000 bikers get here. We will continue to post the blog each day and record our dc experience. Thanks for following the blog. We hope you might have gotten some samll pleasure following our journey. We now begin the dc adventure which will be chapter 2.
