Last of the bats

Well, here are the final photos of Hallow in Washington, and on the way home.
We stopped by to pay our respects to the newest occupants of the white house.





Hallow flew in for a closer look, but was spooked by the secret service.





We stopped at the natural history museum on our way to see art.
Big elephant!






Quick dive into the flowers in the art museum's foyer.
Here's where I saw a really weird painting and
other incredibly beautiful ones.
I love the national gallery.





But we were headed to the pompei exhibit. So we walked and walked.
But it ended up like a tour through liberace's living room.



So we left.



Off for my favorite monument.


Lincoln.





There we were tempted.


Failed to resist temptation.





Flew out of town just in time.


Bats will eat fries at the airport.


Ah, one last shot - memories of cab rides in washington. It sure is nice to be home.

Bats in congressional offices

Buddy (who I let think he's my boss. lol) would kill me if he knew I talked these two staffers to hold the bat. But weirdness is part of my charm.

Thanks to the folks in Congressman Hinojosa's office.

And here's my CEO, proving he has a sense of style - and humor.

And me with the bat, before dinner...

Tomorrow, a few more photos. But I'm beat. Off to bed

Bats in Washington DC

Mireya gave me her bat Hallow to be my companion in Washington while I'm here on business. He's enjoyed his first full days...

Hallow likes the hotel room. It's got a chaisse lounge which is really cool.

Then it was time to head over to the convention center for the meetings. Hallow rode with Jim, since it was too cold to fly.

At the convention center Hallow had to register with Joann and look over the briefing documents.

Then it was time for lunch. Luckily, Hallow's a fruit bat. Really. No biting anything other than mangos. Buddy was trying to get Hallow to wear a napkin. Hallow says bats are very neat eaters.

Sleepy Hallow is worn out from a full day. Tomorrow's a big day! A bunch more meetings, maybe another cab ride and, if we're lucky, a dinner!

Gone for a week (almost)

I'm going to be on the road in Washington DC until Friday. I'm going to post pictures here of Hallow, Mireya's bat, who she requested be our special guest.

I'm having trouble uploading, hopefully I'll get that resolved tomorrow.

In the meantime, check out this completely wonderful subversive song for your kids to live by. Get out your trumpets!
