I love traveling.
I love adventures. I love the hustle and bustle of my favorite city, DC. Since I lived here for almost 2 yrs, I know the inns and outs, what to do, what to avoid etc. This last week, I was holed up in a room outside of the city and had to rely on public transit. When I lived here I relied on the metro heavily BUT I hardly ever took a cab.
Cab's scare me. They are fast and efficient to be sure, however they still scare me. Since I wasn't staying right in the city and my conference was on the outskirts of the city I had to take a cab more than once. The rides are great but who knows if the driver is running up my fee or if I actually get to where I am going on time. Additionally, understanding cab drivers is a needed yet effective skill. This week my nerves on edge, I accomplished riding cabs and not looking like a complete nervous fool.
Learning more about the city is a good thing to know and experience. This city is not one dimensional and for the faint of heart. I am happy to be learning and growing up.
No longer am I the girl who would walk everywhere and rely on herself to go places. Stubbornly, I use to walk to my destinations when people were late to pick me up! Now, I am confident in taking cabs when needed and hopefully to arrive on time for new adventures.
Adieu,
Anne
