With A Little Help From My Friends

Thankfully, a couple of my friends live here in Washington D.C. and having them here is a wonderful opportunity to learn about the city and get a free guided tour. When I get together with them they are able to show me not only the tourist spots, but also their favorite off-the-map sites. Because of these connections I am learning the ins and outs of the city, which help me when I am trying to get around, and it also helps in saving some money while I am here. They are able to tell me all the good but inexpensive places to eat, which is really helping my pocket book. One of my friends even told me about free concerts and performances in the city- one night a week at the Kennedy Center there are free shows, and in a park here there are free jazz concerts on Friday nights. Having these insider tips from my friends are not only saving me money, but also helping me to discover lots of fun things to do while I am here.  There are still a few friends I have here that I have not gotten together with, and I can’t wait to find out what they can share with me about the amazing things to do in this city.
