 VT-GANG IN FRONT OF JALEO
RESTAURANT, ARLINGTON by matcrazy1, 4 more photos
When we entered our VT-meeting place, Jaleo Crystal City restaurant, we saw huge, colorful and loud interior. Although it was busy Friday we were seated right away at long table, which made sense given the size of our group. We enjoyd our company, food (tapas) and drinks a lot and shortly we had great fun. Despite numerous drinks and many, many tapas we didn't pay a lot as for 6 persons - $120.23 plus tip.
Urszula (my wife, matcrazy0) and I were lucky to meet the following VT-ers:
- Kathy from Dallas, Texas (Kodi01)
- Kristi from Chicago, Illinois (Dabs)
- Chris from Atlanta, Georgia (balfor)
- Nat from Richmond, Virginia (b1bob).
First, it was very moving that these friends came from so far and wide to meet us... Then, they welcomed us on American soil like we were a king and queen or a rock star. We had great time... I'm speechless.. Let's meet again... Welcome to Poland.
Details on our VT-adventures are put in my Arlington page (in Nightlife and General tips and in my travelogues).

Every experienced photographer has to admit that the most interesting photographs are not those taken on clear, sunny day but at night, at sunset/sunrise and even during worse weather (fog). In October and November days are short thus I often drove through Virginian old towns and cities at night. I could easily find quite many beautiful historical buildings which were usually heavily lit. So, part of my Virginia adventures was night photography of old archtecture with a tripod. Let's say about Pulaski and Richmond.
RICHMOND
My wife, Nat and I enjoyed a lot long walk along the Historic Fan District which finished in the evening. The Monument Avenue was not heavily lit but the monuments (to Robert E. Lee in my picture) were.
PULASKI
Despite darkness I hit my car towards city of Pulaski in western Virginia because of its Polish name. The Pulaski County Courthouse looked impressive and was heavily lit at night. Thus I had to stop to take a few pictures. Look at pictures 3-5.
No special dress but a tripod is required.

 NIGHT VIEW FROM SHERATON
NATIONAL HOTEL, ARLINGTON by matcrazy1, 4 more photos
I am sure you watched it on TV as the hotel was occupied by journalists after terrorist attack over the Pentagon as the only hotel with such view. Well, you have to take night pictures through window glass as a roof terrace is closed. If the view from your room is on opposite direction to the Pentagon, or you stay at lower floor, take an elevator to the 16th floor to find a room (in front of the ball room) with glass wall overlooking Pentagon and Washington, DC.
First we started to look for the landmarks of the area we were going to visit the following two days. Enlarge my picture, please and look for large building of the Pentagon. Put good glasses on and try to find out small points of the Capitol Building and the Washington Monument.
No special dress but a tripod is required.

 CENSORED BY MY WIFE (SUPER 8
MOTEL, HARRISONBURG) by matcrazy1, 4 more photos
As you can see in my picture the most comfortable Virginian bed was in Super 8 Motel in Harrisonburg (western Virginia). In Virginia and generally in the USA single beds are usually much wider than in European budget hotels and motels. I wonder why. Average American human being is not larger than European one as I noticed, both are mostly L. Additionally they have quite many mostly shorter Asians and thinner Latinos (S or M) in the USA. Well, maybe European compact beds explain why we still have more children in say Poland.
Apart from as above Urszula and I were busy reading travel literature and maps trying to prepare our itinerary for the next day which was always great fun. I also transferred my pictures from memory cards to laptop and charged batteries.
Whatever you or your company like. Your room is your castle.

About twice a month has incredible local music and at times has headline reggae bands.

Unless you are in a city, you won't find much nightlife other than local bars. When in the D.C area or Richmond, check out the club scene. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The Greenleafe Cafe, Williamsburg
The best of a handful of bars in the tourist/college town caters to William & Mary students. Uncomfortably packed on weekends, but Sunday night is 'mug night' where you can fill up your greenleafe mug (about 2.5 pints) for $3-5.
Casual student type dress.
If you're that kind of guy, wear your J Crew and a dirty white baseball cap to blend in. Theme: Eating and DrinkingDirections: Richmond Rd next to the Hospitality House & across from Zable Stadium.
