Red White and Whooo

Am Back Bloggin now...
Was away for a while ... took a whirlwind tour of Washignton DC , New York City and Syracuse .. to celebrate the American Independence Day. We reached DC quite late .. too late in fact to catch the museums ... which is the best thing about DC. But did manage to get to all the memorials and monuments. Walked like 10 miles I guess ... was one tired dog by night time and found what a tired dog could really use .. The Hard Rock Cafe. HARDROCKCAFE .
I had been planning a visit to this place for a while now .. and it was definitely worth the wait. What an awesome place. Great drinks, Excellent food, Cool waiters, Brilliant music and superb ambience. Yeah I was excited ..as u can see. Picked up a souvenier too ... Beer mug .. one from every city is the objective. So that topped off the day really well. That was July 3.
July 4 .. Independence day ... decided to go to NYC to catch the Macy's Fireworks display ... voted MSN as the best fireworks display in the country. Got stuck in the wrong end of the right street but still managed to catch it .. though it wasn't up close and personal .. but a 30 min fireworks display is pretty amazing when u actually see it. The went to this restuarant called Bubba Gump .. the whole place is themed after the movie Forrest Gump. BUBBAGUMP . Brilliant store and good food .. prices go through the roof though. But it was great experience ... they are right on Times Square and the squar as usual did not disappoint. Also got a pic taken with The Rock's likeness outside Madame Tussaud's .. that was a highlight for me .... waiting to develop it and get it scanned.
July 5 was much more laidback. After all the walking and running of 3 and 4 , the body was starting to give up. Went to the Carousel Center which is supposed to be one of the biggest malls this side of the country and did some shopping. So after all that we gt home .. I had a big hole in my pocket ... but still mustered the courage to go see Fahrenheit 9/11. Best documentary I ever saw and it got me thinking .... the politicians in India aren't too bad after all .. the corruption here is even more. And why is it that all Presidential candidates here are such dick's. We all know George W hasn't exactly distinguished himself ... u think Kerry is better .. go check KERRYLIED and u'll know what I'm talking about. This country might actually go to the dogs one day. Guess India might in fact become a superpower like some great minds predicted centuries ago.

anyways that was my weeked and now am back to the drudgery of the work day. God help me with that.

Adios ppl.
