Potomac Mills

… is the biggest mall we have ever seen! Much bigger than the ones we have in Denmark.

The first thing that happened when we had just arrived to the mall was that 2 women wanted to talk with us. They asked us if we wanted to be in a beauty contest because we looked pretty – what a confidence boost.
A thing we noticed about the mall was that it had a really funky smell and we certainly weren’t the only ones who noticed it. Our theory is that it was the food from the food chain Auntie Anne’s… Don’t go there! When it was time to go home, 9 of us girls decided to go together. Everything went well with taking a cab and going on the metro but then we got off. It was there everything went wrong. We thought that finding a bus was going to be a piece of cake but we failed. We felt hopelessly lost in DC. It was awful. Finally we found one of the right bus stops but it was blocked by a demonstration against the war in Afghanistan. Just our luck. Then after a long (and not clarifying) conversation with 2 police officers we decided to take a cab. As we turned around the first corner what did we see? The exact bus we were supposed to take and of course we drove behind it all the way to Georgetown. What a lovely ending to a lovely day.
