One Photo, One Story

I am a photographer of the trip. I took many pictures in D.C.. Some were good, some were brilliant, and for sure some were really bad. There is always a story behind each picture, so now I am going to talk more in detail about my spring break adventure in this way.

It was 12:45 EST. Five poor college kids were hanging around the national mall after visiting the Jefferson Memorial. We were all exhausted after a long day walking and longed for having a hot shower. When we arrived at the Smithsonian Metro Station, we found that the gate was closed. We missed the last metro back to our inn.We thought the last metro station would be closed at 3 a.m. We thought the metro was just like the subway in NYC, which was 24/7. We thought......

"We could walk, it's not that far away. Perhaps it took 1 hr only, and then we could tell our friends that we did something cool in D.C."

"We could take cab. We were really tired, and we still had to walk a lot tomorrow. We had 5 people, so it's not going to be expensive.

"Obviously, we chose cab at the end lol
