Floyd to Washington
09/10/10 21:55 Filed in: USA
Morning view from Kiki's living room.
Breakfast at Kiki's, Floyd, Virginia.
Kiki and Nancy in his garden with the almost finished house.
Kiki's american dream.
This bridge grosses a gully between the road and access lane to Kiki's property. He bought the bridge second hand dismantled and reinstalled it.
Our Alamo rental at the entrance to Kiki's place.
Floyd was a real surprise we really enjoyed our two days there. Thank's Kiki.
We returned to Washington via I81 and I66, a much quicker trip than the scenic route we took on the way down. Our flight on Monday leaves from Reagan airport at Arlington on the south side of Washington. We decided to stay nearby and drove around looking for a hotel. Rates were not for the budget minded. After being quoted between $150 and $350 plus plus plus we found the Americana hotel in Crystal City, Arlington, for $120 all included.
It is a 60's building and looks a bit dated amongst all the new towers in Crystal City but it was just fine and we booked in for two nights.
Later in the evening we drove up to Adams Morgan where Kiki and his long term colleague Miguel play latin music in the Argentine owed Rumba Cafe.
Nancy with Miguel and Kiki. Last together in Quito, Ecuador during the 80's.
Cafe Rumba. We ate well at considerably more than Argentine prices and at around 23:30 the music started.
This part of Washington is extremely busy at night. We drove back to Arlington at around 02:30.
