Got out of the metro station to get to work and I am surrounded by hundreds of people walking the streets. Majority were students. I wondered when and how DC became the hot spot for spring breakers. Wow what a change in youngsters' interests since I went to college, I thought! ha!

Even the grown ups in formal business attire walking about, you just knew they weren't from around here. They were smiling and looking friendly!! It felt surreal. Then I spotted some with both the US and the Canadian flags in their pockets. Well, of course, they are Canadians. That explains that!

It seems somewhere in the news it got lost that the Canadian PM Trudeau is in town. He's at the White House, two blocks from us right now!!! It was his welcome party! Awesome! I think it's been decades since a Canadian PM visited the capital. I'd imagine there would be more fanfare. Washington post from page has only an article about what he will be eating while here!! I guess all focus is on the elections.

But a welcome to the PM! Wouldn't it be great if he and President Obama walk over for a burger while I am out on a walk at lucnh!? sigh... that would be awesome but never would happen! President Obama is known to hop out for lunch but never when I am out and about! Dang it!

Some would think all the hopping about in the Southwest would have been the end of our trip. But, no, it was just half of our whole trip. We then hopped on another Southwest Airline plane and flew North East to Buffalo, New York, which is about an hour's drive to Niagara Falls! What a contrast in scenery that was!

We crossed the bridge and headed on down to the Niagara Falls, Canada! We saved all the trips out to the falls to do on Canada side!
