The Hotel Harrington, Washington's Tourist Hotel, - we would stay again. We were here in 1991 and now in 2016. Hasn't changed much. Good location, good price, and lots of tourists from all over. A big group from Ireland.
We have all this stuff that must fit into a roomette on the train, plus the both of us!
Breakfast at Pret A Manger - dish of oatmeal and a latte. We arranged for a late checkout (1:00). Then we will walk with bags and bike, 1.2 miles to Union Station to catch the 3:05 Silver Star train to Tampa.
Went back to a Smithsonian before walking to Union Station.
A rock from the Sweet Home mine in Alma, CO close to our house in Colorado
In the Acela Lounge at Union Station waiting for our train - the Silver Star
All aboard Amtrak - 3:05 PM on time departure.
My bike is in the baggage car, I hope. The main ticket desk agent and the Acela Lounge attendant told me to give the bike to the baggage guy. Baggage guy says - talk to the conductor, conductor says talk to the baggage guy. I ended up giving bike to baggage guy.
Will I see my bike again? Amy, our sleeper car attendant is on the case.
Departing views of the Capitol
Washington Monument
Adios DC. Lots of margaritas tonight, 5 state lines in the next 15 hours.
Next stop Tampa - 12:23 PM, Tuesday, May 24.
We do have a 10 minute stop to stretch our legs and smoke in Richmond, VA at 5:07 PM - that's in 30 minutes.
