Being a tourist is all about surprises. The excitement of seeing things you’ve only read about, like historic buildings and imposing monuments. The stimulation of learning about local culture and tradition. The fun of discovering a region’s dining options and watering holes.
Perhaps it all comes down to how you define “fun.”
Quote of the Week
Connecticut Avenue, walking towards Dupont Circle:
Elderly Man: “I’m starving.”
Elderly Woman: “I’m sure we’ll find someplace to eat soon.”
Elderly Man: “We’ve been walking for an hour.”
Elderly Woman: “Well, there’s a place across the street…The Royal Palace. The sign says ‘food and fun.’ I’m sure you can get a burger there.”

After the jump, using spoilers as a weapon, refreshing naivete, and the evolution of testicle hair (really).
