Day 17 - Apr 15, 2008 - Washington DC

Our next day in DC started off rocky. We left the home of the Taglahgyal Family and were heading for a meeting with some more representatives. We ended up hitting bad traffic on the way into DC. I was driving and let everyone out when we got to the Cannon Building. I tried to find parking and eventually found a spot. I tried to meet back up with the group but was unable to contact any of them. They told me later on about there day, they had met up again with Tenchou and VP of the Washington DC Tibet Association, Sonam Lhamo. They met four more congressman representatives and handed them our documents on the Tibet Crisis. The day was very productive. After this I met back up with the group and we headed off towards Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. That day we met back up with the Wangdi family, and they provided us again with food and housing. Thank you again to the Wangdi Family for you generosity and a special thanks to Tsering Wangdi for his efforts and kindness.
