really quick

On Monday I went early and registerd in hopes to find the other people in my group. I registered and was told that nothing really started until tuesday. So i thought I would go find my group and help set up their booth in the Exibit hall. No one would let me in becuase i didn't have an exibitors ribbon on my name tag. i tred to explain that I was going to help set up with the organization i came with but apparetnly they should have registered my name before hand in order for me to pass into the expo hall before 9:00 tuesday morning. I was not surprised. So I decided to take advantage of every free map and brochure on my way back to my hotel. I sat down, turned on some music, pulled out my highlighter and mapped out my day. Again by myself Idecided I would go and see the sites. It was not the best day for that since it was Memorial day and all the families in america come to DC to take a picture with Abe lincoln. It was a lot of fun despite being alone. I was able to see evetything and i took a lot of pictures. However the only one I have of myself is my shadow on the sidewalk (just to prove i was there). I was able to watch the memorial day parade which was amazing! i went back to my hotel about 7 and swam in the pool, used the workout room and watched some movie on tv that nobody has ever heard of and I would not try to find out the name to watch it again anyway. But I was in bed early and woke up early the next day to begin my real adventure. The reason i arrived in this city. But i do not have much time now... i will give the rest of tuesday and what happend/happens today later on.

In a really dirty city,
