I had lunch with two instructors of my school today. One had recently spent a month traveling in Estados Unidos (USA) using CouchSurfing.com. She said she felt ´creepy´ and ´unsafe´ when she was in Washington, D.C. I thought for sure she didn´t go to any of the right neighborhoods, but that wasn´t it. She felt like she was at the epicenter of the Evil Empire.
By the way, it´s hot as hell here. Tomorrow it´s going to be 90. Also, tomorrow is the Fiesta Despues-Oficina (the After-Office Party) at Museum. Christian gets us in for free - capado! (but only if I get my homework done first!)

Hey! I resent that comment about DC. Although pretty much anyone from NOVA would say the same thing about it being 'creepy' and 'unsafe'. My neighborhood at least has the right mix of kids, families and a park on one hand and trash and condoms laying about on the other.
Now I don't feel so bad about my various prejudices about S. America and it's various countries ;)
