So yes, after having slept in a nice home for a few days, I was given the oportunity again, and only 100 miles north or so.  Rode up to Bob's BMW in Jessup, Maine, where the guys from BMW of Miami had FedExed my license plate.  No more ignoring traffic cams with the "paper" plate, the real one is on now and so just as real will be the tickets.  From Bob's I rode to Washington D.C. where my good friend Carolina lives (or Arlington, VA, same thing!).  She was kind enough to let me stay in her beautiful apartment, with secure parking for the cow, and great 10th floor views and comfy bed for me. 
Crossing the Potomac.


Thanks Caroline!!!


She complained that this site had too many pics of the bike an none of me, so here's a compromise shot: Me, the bike, and a landmark!


The mall and Lincoln Memorial.


Georgetown, nice as always.

      Is there any way you can do this trip twice and come back. I've always looked up to you (I know I'm crazy...) for never giving up with your adventures. I will always feel as we've had seen each other the day before. Stay safe and enjoy the biggest hug anybody's ever given you!!!!!!!!!

      Querido Guido,

      Me alegra saber que todo va bien en tu aventura. No tenia ni idea, que chevere! me hubiera encantado ir a verte en DC, y vernos a los anios (9). Si cumples con los deseos de Carolina, nos encantara recibirte en Annapolis tambien.
      Tienes que conocer a mi mujer e hijos. Mi hijo Joaquin es fanatico de las motos y de los autos de carrera...Un fuerte abrazo, Enrique
