Crazy things you do when travelling #1

I'm in Long Island in New York...

yes.. I know it's not DC.. yes, I know that I have round the world ticket in which long island isn't included..

So, my friend Jioni, who I'm visiting in DC, came up to for the weekend to visit his girlfriend, and he asked if I wanted to come too, as they were going to a big horse-racing party.

So we flew up here on Friday night, and went to the party yesterday. It was fun, although there was perhaps a little too much Johnny Cash music for my taste at one point in the party...

I did race into Manhattan and catch up with Dave & Rach for a really brief time - which is like going to the Blue Mountains for coffee, turning around and coming back..

But it's been good here - Jioni & Tina have 2 gorgeous cats, and there was some dancing at the party, which I enjoy, as you all would know.

Anyway, Jioni's been kind enough to lend me his laptop to check email and so on, but I'm going for a walk now, so I'll post again once I've been to the 1,000 smithsonian museums in DC..

yes, Dave, my liddle bro, I'll take a picture of Magnum's cap for you ;^)
