Letterman.....



Ted and I walked to the Letterman studio. It was closed on Thursday. We would have loved to had tickets for the show. Dave Letterman is a fellow Hoosier. It was a good walk from our hotel. Two ladies on our tour took one of those bike/rickshaws. The man could not speak very good English and said 3 dollars a block.....then charges them 46 dollars. It was not 12 blocks, no way. They walked back to the hotel. I am thinking they were take in..  The girl in our hotel gift shop said she rode in a cab all the way down town for 17 dollars. We were warned about such things. Live and learn, I guess.

  5. Every experience is a learning opportunity.

    It sounds as though you've had a good trip, though.

    Sorry Letterman is closed on Thursday.
