This morning didn't start auspiciously. For some reason, this room is very stuffy; we don't know why. I had the fan on last night and woke up several times crying out because of feeling smothered. Today when we went out I left the air conditioner running. It's still on. It seems very bizarre to have to run the A/C when it's in the thirties outside!

We got up at eight because we had to move rooms twice last night and didn't get to bed until two. Then we hit the breakfast buffet, which is okay. From Ivan's descriptions, it's pretty much like the breakfast buffet at La Quinta, except without biscuits and gravy. The eggs are "fake." They have waffles, coffee, tea, apple and orange juice, two percent and whole milk, three kinds of cereal, muffins, French toast, several flavors of instant oatmeal, bagels, "supermarket doughnuts" (which are tooooooo sweet), sausage, and scrambled eggs. It's not the buffet at the Drury Inn. Oh, well.

By the time we got to the Metro station (having been misdirected by the front desk to the wrong exit), it was ten, and by the time we got downtown it was almost 11:30. It looks like if we want to do the buildings from the moment they open we will have to hit the metro by 8:30.

Back in a bit. Want to watch the new "Treehouse of Horror."
