Drink•Eat•Walk DC Food Tour Business Quarterly Review — 2025 Q3
It’s been three months since my first tour, so it’s time for a self-assessment: 👍 👎 I’m in the star-rating biz, though, so I guess I have to review myself through that lens: Overall rating = ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ Despite the negativity, I’m pretty happy with how things are going. All I really care about in this…

DC Food Tour Learnings — TTFD
A continuation of this series On my first couple of DC food tours I had guests meet me at the fountain in the center of Dupont Circle. It’s the perfect local DC neighborhood meetup spot, with lots of benches & seats, and it’s alive with people & activity, especially at the 5pm meetup time. After…
-
DC Food Tour Learnings — Reviews-22
A tour business like Drink•Eat•Walk relies on sites like Tripadvisor & Viator (the same company since 2014!), and Get Your Guide to bring in business, especially in the first season (I wrote about this here). The issue is that you can’t really get business on these platforms without reviews. Indeed, they state that they won’t…
-
DC Food Tour Learnings — Choosing Curation
I wrote about the importance of guest feedback in this post. Since then, one of the main questions I’ve gotten when discussing the tours with friends IRL is “what kind of feedback have you gotten?” I love thinking & talking about this stuff, so with this post I’m starting an ongoing series where I’ll detail…
-
DC Food Tour Learnings — Golden Feedback
All guests on my first two tours have been friends. I mean, they’ve booked & paid like standard customers, but I’ve knew all of them before they did. That’s partially because: without a brand; reputation; reviews; word-of-mouth and begging are the only way to get bookings in your first season in the tourism world. However,…
-
Gametime
Exciting day here at Drink•Eat•Walk World HQ getting all the walking supplies purchased and ready for my first tour and guests this evening.
-
Let’s D•E•W DC Like a Local!
Is this thing still on‽ Welp, happy to announce that Drink•Eat•Walk is officially on! My first tour is this Thursday, July 3rd, and bookings are now open through the end of October. You can book directly here on DrinkEatWalk.com, but for now I’m trying to drive bookings through Tripadvisor & Viator to get some clicks…

Going Dutch
The cruise made a stop in IJmuiden, Netherlands, the port that services Amsterdam. I took the 45 min bus into the city, and it got stuck under a bridge. Yep. It wasn’t even close, and if you’re wondering what it sounds like when you’re in a moving bus and it jams itself under bridge, it’s…
-
Bruggeing Tourism
Bruges, Belgium is a gorgeous, and it’s a miracle of history that it has survived this long in its condition. I can’t believe it’s still also a real, working, thriving city. It’s one of those places you have to go see, and I’m glad I did. That said, when you’ve heard about over tourism, this…
-
A Tale of Two Cities
Another great thing about walking as discovery is noticing how the sights and feels change as you walk from one neighborhood to another. Sometimes just one street more means a drastic difference. Our cruise stopped in Tillbury, England, which gave us access to London, but only for a couple of hours, as it took one+…
-
Lucky Stumble
One of the ways I love learning about a town/village/city is to just walk out the door with no real plan, to see what I can stumble upon. I get a more local feel for the place, and it satisfies my need to explore. I especially needed escapes like this on this cruise — to…
-
Awfully Acceptable
Cruises make you do, eat, see, and think weird stuff that you would never find acceptable IRL: – Thinking “I’m gonna go melt some ice” before heading to pee, because they put ice in the urinals on this ship: – Having multiple in-depth discussions on techniques on how to figure out the time, and set…
-
French Camino
Our cruise stopped in the tiny town of Le Verdon-sur-Mer, the port access for the Bordeaux region. I didn’t feel like doing any cruise-organized tours, so decided to just walk off the ship & see what happened. I’m gonna do a full post on the great day I had, but first a quick one on…
-
Learning Tours
I’ve taken three food tours, so far, on this cruise+ trip. They’ve all been fine. I’m thinking of them as learning experiences for Drink•Eat•Walk, though, so no matter how good they are, I have some takeaways. Like what? Welp, let’s drink, eat, and walk our way through the one I took in Lisbon, Portugal to…
-
Spanish Fly
I love Spain. It’s the country I’ve been in the most outside of the US. I’ve walked across it. I love that it’s Western Europe, but still a little feral. I love that I kinda understand the language, and the body language. I love that I can shop in a local grocery store and know…
-
Barkcelona
Speaking of dog pics, here’s one taken by my Uncle in Barcelona, Spain: It was one of the first sights we saw on our Hop-on Hop-off bus tour of the city. No, it wasn’t a sight listed in the brochure. What’s extra funny is that I was sitting on the floor above him, saw the…
-
Shipictures
One of the many strange behaviors your pick up on a cruise is constantly taking pictures of the ship: Pictures of just the ship; pictures of the ship with dramatic backgrounds; pictures of the ship doing fun things. I imagine this is what it’s like to have a dog or kid, where your phone’s photo…
-
Cruise for Thought
I’m usually a healthy* eater and also pretty disciplined when it comes to what time I eat, and how much. This all changes when there’s free food, though, so cruises are all about the “free” food for me. I love it, lose all control, and have zero regrets during or after. Which is why by…
-
Leaning Out
✅ Confirmed it’s a Leaning Tower ✅ Confirmed it’s of Pisa ❌ Declined taking pic pretending to hold it up (perhaps the only person there that didn’t?)
-
Tim Cruise
I’m on my annual cruise with my family. I actually really enjoy cruising, with them, but it definitely takes a gentle acceptance of all that mankind has wrought and offers for that enjoyment. I highly recommend you bring your fam on one to experience it. Together.
-
On Guard
I’m in Rome. Italy. It’s so hard to take pictures here, because everything you see is famous and you’ve seen 1001 pictures of all those things and those pics will all be better than anything you take. And everything is so so so old and historical and there’s so much of it around every corner…
-
Reluctant Vision
I’ve been fighting it for years, even worsening my overall vision by switching my contacts to monovision, but I finally had to admit defeat last weekend: And what a glorious reading vision I’ve thus had all week, especially when on the computer. I swear I’m much more productive, and even creative. I mean, I re-invented…
-
Nice Day for a Work
I’ve written how I like days where Drink•Eat•Walk working means researching & reading. The best working days, though, are the ones where I get out there to get at it. Yesterday was one of those days: I walked the route for my “Rock Creek Park + Mount Pleasant” tour. This is the tour I’m hoping…
-
Geo. Journey
I’ve written about it before, but one of the many things I like about building Drink•Eat•Walk is that there are so many things to do. So if one day I don’t feel like doing something directly related —writing; businessing; designing;drinking•eating•walking— I can always be productive by researching & reading. Yesterday was one of those days.…
-
Strike Out
I’m getting closer to starting my first Drink•Eat•Walk tours, so am furiously working on my stories, website, and messaging. I’m also starting to talk in more detail about the tours when I’m out in the world with people. One surprising thing I’ve learned is that not everybody knows what a food tour is. They’ve been…
-
DAR Library
I visited a new library last week, one that DC uniquely offers: The Daughter’s of the American Revolution (DAR) Museum Library. It was extraordinary. Even from the outside you could tell it was going to be an amazing place. You then walk in and it’s even better than you hope: The long tables, the adornment,…
-
Local Roots
Yes, the cherry blossoms in DC are fantastic, and we’re lucky to have them here to draw folks in to visit. And…boy do they draw DC locals know that, unless you can get there for sunrise, you want to avoid at all costs the tidal basin on peak bloom weekend. We forget, of course, and…
-
Touch ‘n’ Go
It’s cherry blossom season in DC, meaning it’s the perfect time for one of my favorite short runs: To the Washington Monument; touch it; run back. It’s a great one because there’s a grove of trees on the Monument grounds that’s one of my favorites. You can see them in the pic above, and that…
-
Accountability Tour
A few weeks back I finally committed to the date I’m going to start running tours. It’s helped focus me, and the public accountability is a good 🔥 under my butt. It’s now time to kinda do the same thing with all the things I still need to do before launching. There are still a…
-
AI Usage
AI is in the news all the time now. Every day we read & hear about new companies, tools, uses, and problems to be solved with them. However, in my world, nobody really seems to be talking about them much. Since I’m a lone wolf right now building out Drink•Eat•Walk, this makes it hard for…
-
Centuries Suck
I’ve mentioned that I’m reading lots of history books to fuel my Drink•Eat•Walk stories. One of the most frustrating things for my simple brain when reading these books is constantly having to translate century references into actual years. Ex: “18th century means 1700s” and “19th century means 1800s”. I hate it. Why do writers love…
-
DC’ea Culpa
I subscribe to the startup/Silicon Valley ethos to quickly Launch → Learn → Improve when building a product or company. The sooner you start this cycle the better, even if you’re not 100% ready — because you’re never going to be 100% ready. I think it’s time to admit, however, that I’ve now been actively…
-
Toilet Inspiration
I’m trying to write & post something, somewhere, every day this year. Two months in and I’m definitely not hitting this goal. It’s partially because some days I just have nothing to say, and I don’t want to force it. So, sometimes, for inspiration, I’ll look back through the photos I’ve taken in the past…
-
Regular Research
I’ve started actively researching the places I might want to stop at for some of my Drink•Eat•Walk tours, at roughly the times I’ll be stopping at them. Ya know, to see how crowded; to check the vibe; to pretend I’m a regular. It’s that last part I only realized last night that was totally bothering…
-
Immigrant Confidence
I walk around DC a ton; partially to get places; partially to explore; partially to get out and get my steps in. So there are spots I walk by all the time without even noticing that I’ve been keeping an eye on and tracking them over time. Places like the one in the pic here,…
-
On Writing
Tour guide are really just teachers & storytellers, and most well-crafted verbal stories start as written ones. There’s about a dozen stories I want to have ready for my Drink•Eat•Walk tours, stuff like ‘Why DC looks the way it does’, “Ethiopians in DC” and ‘Why you’re stuffing a delicious Papusa in your mouth’. I’ve spent…
-
Cleansing Smells
I have sinus issues, and because of that I can’t smell. It doesn’t really bother me, as it’s been that way for so long that I just don’t even notice it. But, about once a year, my sinuses calm their shit down, and I’m able to smell a little. I’m in the middle of of…

Traveler Tips
Kevin Kelley is amazing. His curiosity is infectious, and he’s lived his life in a way that overlaps with much of what I enjoy, and what I believe in. As such, every new listicle like this that he comes up with is gold → https://kk.org/thetechnium/50-years-of-travel-tips/ There are so many gems in this list, and all…
-
New Neighbor
A Taco Bell just opened across the street from me. This is big news because Taco Bell is my favorite fast food chain. I live in a city with amazing tacos & Mexican/Tex-Mex food, and I know that Taco Bell is none of those. But I still love it. I’m a fairly healthy eater, though,…
-
Cabinet Bankruptcy
It’d be stunning to calculate the amount of time I’ve wasted trying to close the doors on my stupid kitchen cabinets. I hate them. And I’m not going to be a part of it anymore: From now on, all the cabinet doors shall remain unclosed 😡
-
Snow Thump
We got a good thumping of snow last night here in DC. This has been a very fulfilling winter for me in this town. I’ll need to remember this when I’m deep in my July & August steaming weather hate for it.
-
DC Peeps
When most people visit Washington, they learn about the history of the US, the politicians that led the way, and the structures that have been built to honor them. What they don’t learn about is the people that built the city, nor do they see the amazing neighborhoods we locals live our lives in. They…
-
Logo (con’t)
I’ve been working on the Drink•Eat•Walk logo a bunch the past few weeks. It’s getting closer to the feeling I’m trying to capture, but we’re still not there. Let’s recap: The first D•E•W logo was created awhile ago by Copilot and me, where I prompted it with something like “create a circle logo for a…
-
Three Cans
This is my new go-to lunch when I have any leftovers, or cooking up a new batch of slop. Open the cans up, dump them in a bowl, and six microwave minutes later lunch is ready. Delicious (I think), filling, cheap, healthy (though perhaps a tad too processed), and only about 700 calories.
-
Final Tour
My plan for when I finally launch Drink•Eat•Walk DC is to have three different tours. I’ve known two of them for awhile: 1- Walk Dupont Circle & Adams Morgan → This will be a classic walking food tour, with an emphasis on the food, drink, and histories of theses communities, and the people that have…
-
eyesintim
It’s been Tim’s infrastructure week, aka health care week . Today was the eye doctor to get the required yearly update to my prescription so I can order new contacts (a racket that burns my blood). Two highlights: 1- I made the appointment yesterday, and got it today. Unheard of. The doctor thinks it’s because…
-
Dental Thumbs
👎 I haven’t been to the dentist in 2+ years 👍 But I actually have dental insurance 👎 The dentist I’ve been going to for years doesn’t accept my new insurance 👍 But the fancy dentist office (sorry, “Studio”) in my building does accept my insurance 👎 They can’t get me a new customer appointment…
-
Final Grade
Last post in this series. Ok, let’s recap all my 2024 Commitment grades: That averages out to about a D-. Ouch. Either I’m a very tough grader, or I had a wildly unproductive 2024. I think the former is somewhat true, but the latter is definitely true. Now I know why in my gut 2024 felt…
-
Me in Tim
A friend asked me why I never post pictures of myself here. It’s a fair question, and I don’t really have a good answer other than: I’ve never really specifically chosen not to post them. It’s more that when it comes down to choosing what I post, it always just seems to be the images…
-
2024 Evaluation: Item #6 → Community
This post is continuing this series. Commitment #6: Community → I’m going to get involved with some sort of organized, IRL group this year. My default is solitary, and without being forced into any office, the default rules. I really am a better version of myself when I’m around other folks, so I need to force myself…
-
2024 Evaluation: Item #5 → Learn
This post is continuing this series. Commitment #5: Learn → I’m constantly reading & learning on the internet, but it’s unfocused & unproductive. So, I’ll be formalizing my learning this year by taking a class/course, most likely online. I have no idea in what subject — figuring that out will be part of the fun. Grade =…
-
Ross, Free
There’s a bunch of these poster boards around my DC neighborhood. They’ve been there for years. I’ve always wondered “why did that group spend money on those?” And “do they really think they’re going to work?” Welp, they did work → https://wapo.st/3E0WbHI More on how they did it here → https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/technology/ross-ulbricht-trump-pardon.html?smid=url-share
-
2024 Evaluation: Item #4 → Create
This post is continuing this series. Commitment #4: Create → I really enjoyed that process of building Did You Do it Today, and have some other ideas for web apps. So, I’ll be building out another one, using Bubble.io again. Grade = F+ I created no new apps this year. I was focused on other things (see below). So why…
-
2024 Evaluation: Item #3 → Write
This post is continuing this series. Commitment #3: Write → I’ll be posting something every day here on eyeintim, and some of that writing will continue to feed into every weekend’s Snack Pantry. Grade = C I posted 270 times here on eyeintim in 2024, which means 74% of the time, hence the grade. C seems like a…
-
Meditative Walking
DC has been empty, quiet, and eerily still this weekend. A great time to walk, walk, walk around and take it all in. Boarded up windows: Moving trucks: Blocked off streets: The strangest thing, though, was that there actually were 10’s of thousands of people around. They all just happened to be in one giant,…
-
2024 Evaluation: Item #2 → Earn
This post is continuing this series. Commitment #2: Earn → I need to generate income this year. Hopefully it will be independently, and ideally via Did You Do it Today? & Snack Pantry, but I’ll continue to be open to any interesting opportunity that comes my way. Grade = D– It was actually kinda dumb to have this as…
-
Still, Ikea
I finally splurged and replaced the cardboard boxes & baskets I was using for clothes storage with some new shelving units. And I’m not ashamed to say that they’re from Ikea. Look, I know most folks think I’m too old to still be buying Ikea, but I don’t care. I still love their stuff: *I…
-
2024 Evaluation: Item #1 → Sell
I quit my “normal” job at the end of 2022 to make a go at earning money independently in 2023. To give me focus & discipline, I committed to doing Seven Things, then graded my performance after the year ended. Having these commitments really helped, so I repeated the process and committed to Six Things…
-
2025 Daily Schedule
Here’s my new 2025 daily schedule for standard weekdays, when nothing else is going on or, in the future, if I’m running a tour that day 8:30a → Out of bed, dress, 10 minute walk outside (no matter the weather) 9a → Coffee & internetting 10:30a → Work out 11:30a → Cook, eat, clean, chores,…

Let’s Go Buff-a-lo!

Old Snow
We got a bit of snow overnight, but it was lame. Monday’s storm spoiled me, so here’s my 2nd & 3rd favorite captures from then: This post is also lame, but a commitment is commitment.
-
Clear Habits
I’m focused on building a tour business this year, but will continue improving, supporting, and using my habit tracker, “Did You Do it Today?” Thinking of building a habit this year? You should. It’s actually kinda fun to have a daily goal, and I think the app does a solid job of keeping you honest.…
-
HumAIn Evolution
We’re all inundated with stories, articles, podcasts, posts (like this one!) about AI. All seem to promise big future impacts, but few seem to get specific with what this actually means to we humans. This super interesting post does just that, in a very, very specific way: How AI might influence what human personality traits…
-
Finally, Productive
I definitely pushed the limits of this holiday break. Sure, I can blame this year’s calendar, and the amazing snowstorm we just had, but it was really just me being lazy. So it was great to finally have a productive day today — the initial DrinkEatWalk.com draft website is now live. There are only three…

The One Thing I’m Going To Do In 2025
I’m going to focus on one thing this year: Build a tour business. For the past couple of years, I’ve kicked off the new year by committing to a bunch of things. I then do a yearend assessment of how I did towards the commitments. And it’s in doing my 2024 assessment (which is still…
-
Snow Day
DC is having a big snow event last night & today. I walked in it for it for 3 hours/24k steps/12 miles, and took 82 pictures. This final one I took, on the corner near my apartment, is my favorite.
-
Weekly Learning
Yearend is always hard for me to not turn this blog in to a linkblog for all the fantastic “## Things I Learned in 2024” type posts that come out. But I couldn’t resist linking to this one, as it’s so well done with its breadth of topics & source links:
-
’tis the Season
It’s been decades since I turned the heat on in any apartment I’ve lived in (except for that one year my then-landlord made me keep the inside temp above 55). I like it cold. That said, fronts & storms like the ones hitting DC right now always push me to my limits — it’s official…
-
New Year, New You
I, stupidly, don’t talk about it much, but my habit tracker web app “Did You Do it Today?” is still up & running, and helping people build their habits one day at a time. We all have life improvements we want to make, and DYDit is a great way to make a formal, skin-in-the-game commitment…

Top Ten Things I Found in 2024
-
Fried Chicken Day
I hardly ever eat fried chicken (tenders don’t count), but every New Year’s Day I get some of it. I have no idea how or when I started the tradition, and I sometimes forget it, but it continued this year at Popeyes. The fried chicken is almost never as good as I expect it to…

Searching Myself
More and more, I’ve been using LLMs to do my web searches. Some recent ones: what’s a great quote about building habits why does the ncaa still use wider hash marks for mens football how many traffic circles in dc Can you summarize this article https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/19/magazine/tour-guide-new-york.html best thing for your face after shaving why did…

Bus Giving
Lol, my cross-country bus trip keeps on giving:

Chasing History
I took some more local DC walking tours this weekend, these ones focused on history & architecture. They were great, and the guides were super knowledgeable. Once again, though, they weren’t full of much joy, nor was there much interaction amongst the group (I think those two things are related). The only pic I took…
-
Golden Update
The day after I posted this some storms, and then a little snow, ripped through and effectively ended this year’s gold rush. Will now have to wait ~350 days until my next 📷 chance.
-
Missed Recommendations
One of the things I committed to at the start of this year was posting something here every day. I did pretty well the first few months, mainly because I was posting a link recommendation each weekday as a forcing function. The problem with forcing functions is that they start to feel…forced, and I thus…
-
First Tour & Route
Ok, I think I’ve figured out the stops & route for the first Drink•Eat•Walk tour I’m going to offer: Drink•Eat•Walk → Dupont Circle & Adams Morgan Here’s a summary of the tour: Here are the things I’ll be discussing on the tour (at the stops or while walking): I’ve pretty much known for a few…
-
Searching for Gold
I’ve lived in my current apartment building for 3+ years (perhaps the place I’ve been in the longest since high school?). That means I’ve been able to track things over time, and the number one thing I look forward to each year are the changes in the leaf colors in the trees in the courtyard…
-
Phoenix Rising
I’ve never really like Phoenix. My folks have lived there for 20+ years, and I’ve visited a bunch over the years, but it’s never really been my thing. It’s all a big sprawl that has very much been designed for cars. You really can’t do much without riding in one (though Waymos are fantastic), so…
-
DC Food Tour Learnings → Part 2
I took a food tour here in DC a few weeks back, and wrote up the first part of my learnings, focused on the business side, in this post. Now it’s time for my review of it from the customer side (though still through my business-building 👀). And my customer review is that the tour…
-
Yesterday Was Huge
I was finally able to try out a Waymo driverless car! I’m in Phoenix visiting my Dad, and took one from the airport. It was amazing & really did feel like the future. The trip took longer, as it couldn’t drive on the highway and had to take the slower side roads. But it ended…
-
Walking Practice
I walked out another potential tour route today, this time on Roosevelt Island on the Potomac. It’s an amazing place that most folks never visit, even locals. So, potentially perfect for Drink•Eat•Walk. Then again, everything outdoors here seems perfect during autumn.
-
DC Food Tour Learnings → Part 1
I took a Georgetown food tour in DC last weekend, partially because I’d never taken one here before and wanted to learn more about Georgetown, and partially to check out how other local companies are running their food tours. I’m so glad I took it. The tour was good, and I learned a bit about…
-
A Halloween Killing
A teen walking on the street was looking at her phone, and not where she was going. So, I let her walk right into me, as I always do now, to prove a point. Teen: <stunned & embarrassed> “I’m sorry sir!” Me: <stunned & laughing> “Sir‽ Wow, do I really look that old?” Teen: <earnestly>”I…
-
First Tour Practice
I led some friends on a practice run yesterday for the potential hiking tour I’ve been working on. The route I mapped turned out to be a good distance: The hiking itself was great: And the fresh empanadas (and drinks) I bought & brought were the perfect mid-hike picnic fodder: I think this hiking tour…

Atlas Mapping
I love maps, and have lots of them up on my walls. I also have a great National Geographic Atlas that’s so much fun to browse through, or look for specific things in. It’s kinda big, though, and a tad annoying to pull off the shelf and open up. I’ve always wanted to just have…
-
Good Research Timing
I’ve been deep the process of finding places & walking potential routes for Drink•Eat•Walk. In doing so, I realized that I might want to offer different types of tours, including ones that will involve even more walking, maybe even real hiking. One hiking tour (Drink•Eat•Hike?) could be in DC’s huge, beautiful, right-in-our-neighborhood Rock Creek Park.…

Hair, and Belief, Washing
Several years ago I stopped washing my hair after watching this YouTube video about how it wasn’t really needed. It went great, and I was a true believer who’d prophesize about it to anybody that asked, or even hinted at asking. Then I read this → https://wapo.st/3YsBDPR For a 54-year-old single fella, reading “may contribute…

Drink-Eat-Walk: Origins
I’ve traveled, a lot, and mostly done it independently, just me & my backpack. But to travel alone is to only be alone when you want to — you’re always around similar-minded travelers, whether it’s in the hostels, the pubs, or on small group tours. If I’m being honest, it’s those small group tours that…
-
Cheap Barber
I’ve been cutting my own hair for over a year now. I started doing it myself mostly because I was never getting the haircut I wanted from the cheap barbers I’d go it. The thing they do is cut it the perfect length in the first pass, but then make another pass and cut it…
-
Back to Work
The daily posting I committed to at the start of the year has really become…not daily. It was a lot of effort to travel like I just did on my bus journey, and pumping out a post each day also took lots of time & work. The thing is, I really enjoyed the daily writing…
-
#workabout Favorites
Reflecting back on my trip, I think a lot about what my favorites were. Lotta ways to apply that “favorite” label, but the way I’ve been thinking it the most is as it relates to my daily schedule out there. I moved fast (too fast!) on this journey, so every day/every other day essentially became…

Haynes Point Station
Haynes Point is essentially the “riding the bus” of golf courses. I, thus, ♥️ it

Home Gear
Some manually-hacked gear from home that I didn’t realize how much I missed No idea what any of the stickers are nor where I got them
-
Motorcade Moron
I was going to do a post about how running into the Vice President’s motorcade today right outside my building was a nice welcome back to DC (though some locals hate the motorcades, I love ’em), and a reminder how unique it is here: But then I looked at these pics and saw just how…
-
One Bag Gear Awards
One of my favorite things about journeys like this is the minimalism it forces. Or, if I’m being honest, that it enables — I’m pretty obsessed about traveling with a One Bag, and this was my first real chance to try out my new backpack for an extended period. It’s really not about the bag,…
-
Bus Riding Review
I think I’ve been pretty honest with my assessment of busses in my posts about this journey, but perhaps I’ve come across too negative. So, let me be clear: Riding the busses was actually one of the best parts of this trip, and I’ll definitely add bussing into the mix when deciding how to get…
-
Final Stats
Pittsburgh to DC was my final bus leg, which means I’m now back home! The DC Greyhound station doesn’t present well upon initial arrival — you’re in the parking garage: But you then emerge into Union Station, which makes it rank as the nicest bus station of my journey. (DC locals who dare challenge me…
