It's Friday and Washington

We got to the Harrington Hotel about one. It was built in 1914 and is in a great location between the White House and the Capitol. I was met with an unusual sight when I came into the lobby, men in black tights and fluffy mini-skirts. Were they medieval traveling troubadours? I finally had to ask. The six were engineering students at a college in Madrid and are traveling around the world wearing these getups, singing and playing stringed instruments. Next they are going to Philadelphia, one told me. I think they are called tuna or tuno. They were checking out as I was checking in and soon started to serenade the desk staff good bye. I took a few seconds of their lobby performance.
