We got up at 9.00am and went to Scholl's restaurant in the town. From there we walked to some of the famous places in Washington; The White House, Lincoln Memorial, The Washington Monument, and several others. We took several photographs of these places and walked along Constitution Ave. We bought postcards and then set off in the car. We drove up to the Capitol building and then headed out of Washington. We stopped 30 miles outside of Washington and I made a phone call home to Chris, cost $4.75.
We changed drivers' a few times and I started driving at 8.55pm. By 10.25pm we had covered the 94 miles to Columbus. Straight away we were lost. It took us 1 1/2 hours to find a place to stay. Ohio State University could not help us. We contacted the university police and they found us a room for $3 each. Then we went to a McDonalds for something to eat. After that I went to an amusement arcade to plat pinball for an hour or so.
The accommodation was quite reasonable and I slept well.
Postcard home: Dear Mum & Dad, Just one of the many sights [Jefferson Memorial] we saw today though not at night. We left Washington DC at 1 o'clock today. Hope to be in Ohio state university tonight.
