I had a friend come into town today, Eric Chou. We met at Penn State Abington. The whole plan was for me to get out of work at 4 p.m. so we could get a good amount of time at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, one of the many touristy things I haven't seen yet in D.C.!
Shortly after we arrived at the museum, I got a call from my fellow intern at Kiplinger's who was going to feed the meter for us. The car was towed...
After a few phone calls we figured out that it had been moved to the 1800 block of Pennsylvania Ave. In the meantime, I received an e-mail from Rita. Deena was over who was graciously going to take a few pictures for my story on Rita for the magazine. Deena said she was going to come pick us up.
In the craziness of wondering how the car was doing in its new spot, Eric and I decided it would be best to just go get it. So we asked Deena if she would mind taking us up-town to grab the car. On our way, sitting in traffic among crazed city drivers, Deena started to tell us all that was going on with her preparation for her huge trip to London in just 3 days. And she still agreed to take us.
When we got back to Rita's, even though Deena should have left 2 hours before, she did a photo shoot with Rita, ate dinner with us and was splendid company.
Beautiful moment of day three:
Deena's patience and presence even though other obligations and priorities were pulling her away. Deena you're the greatest!
Wow that sucks! You are sooo lucky! You met some really nice people in DC! One time my U-haul truck with all my furniture in it was towed and I gotta tell ya, I panicked!! and cried a little lol. Me and my sister were just sooo stressed about it, we spent the rest of the day at Coldstone :).
