Oh I didn’t take the TN thing personally. I’m well aware that the best parts are not along the interstates. 😉 And I TOTALLY understand being ready to be home. We made our 7+ hour trip from DC with ONE stop.

I think it was just a joke in response to my experience (observed definitely human poop on some stairs down to the subway- this was the only weird/yuck I saw).

We were at Crowne Plaza. The last morning we discovered we could access the metro through the Crystal City shops literally next door. The first day we trudged several blocks (passing lots of access pints) to get on the train. We did try 1 short trip on the bus and comparatively, not a fan. 😂

We also enjoyed We the Pizza!

I’m from TN (sorry it was disappointing) and we don’t have efficient public transportation. I was wishing for a blue line from my house to Target by the time I had made a couple of trips back & forth.

Edited to finish my thought.

Ditto for me! We stayed in Crystal City and loved it! The city and train were pretty clean and we kept finding places to enter the subway/mall closer and closer to our hotel!

I say “pretty clean” because, well, full disclosure…. On the steps to a subway entrance this morning, we saw a pile where some human had shat right there.

I figure if that’s the worst I see in 5 days it’s been a pretty good trip.
