Stuff Tourists Like – The Map

January 7, 2009 · 7 Comments

If we’re going to document stuff Washingtonians like, why not include stuff tourists like? We all know that there are certain essentials that tourists must carry. They are the beacons that tell pick-pockets “Rob me! I have lots of money and expensive items on my person just waiting to be sold on ebay.” This guy is sporting the tourist essential known as the map, and possibly the fanny-pack, but I can’t confirm. Tourist will ESPECIALLY need maps during the inauguration. How else will they find where their tour bus is parked?? We’ll keep a running list of essential tourist items.

One of the few things that is cool about DC is our squirrels. When I first saw a black squirrel, I thought it was either the runt of a skunk litter or a giant rat that somehow learned to climb trees. I actually screamed and slammed the back door while my Gtown roomies laughed at me. Someone apparently imported these black squirrels to feed on the tourists. They are very cute, and very brave. They must be pro’s at suckering the tourists into feeding them, because this guy almost jumped me. The ones in the woods by my house are not so forward.
