Back at the Holiday Inn Rosslyn

The bus that drove us back to DC was younger than the previous bus but Jo still got a back pain from sitting for 2hours which is taking its time to settle down.

But being back at the HI Rosslyn was easy. Same lousy wifi, same nice Indians who run the restaurant, etc. We kept away from the heat yesterday by going to Crystal City to renew our Costco membership. Even the staff here is amazed at how old Jo’s card is and let him keep it. They let me keep mine too as the photo is still good. . . . I must be getting enough anti-ageing whatevers without trying. The hotel supplies anti-ageing hair conditioner!

I only could find, in my size, a pair of walking sandals on my list of 4 must have shoes. Jo got a book in Costco. The book stack was half filled with books about politics and Trump. Folks are worried.

Last night we had dinner with the Southbys. Their favourite local place has closed down so they chose, on the internet, the same restaurant that Jean chose last time we visited. And she chose it then because the place across the road wasn’t available. What a coincidence. 

Today we pick up a car to drive to the Shenandoah for our get away with the Scheyers and Pathmanathans. There is no wifi at the house we have rented. So I will be back on air on Friday.
