The Joy of Sleeping on Church Floors in DC Deni and I met at Trinity Lutheran Church which has a no frills hostel for activist groups. We had the church hall, kitchen, and shower facilities. There were also mats and it's not so bad when you put two of together. We spent that evening planning, making signs, and fellowship. The next day consisted of walking to the metro, commuting to the FERC Building, holding protest signs going through the check point to attend the FERC meeting and getting escorted out of the building. Next, we hiked over to the Senate building. Deni and I had appointments with our Senators both on opposite sides of the two buildings. It was an exhausting day. We hike to the Metro to St. Stephens & the Incarnation Episcopal church. we were welcome to use the very thin mats on the pews on the HARD marble floors in the sanc·tu·ar·y. I might have considered it a great adventure in an earlier decade but my 60 plus year old body was screaming "No FiretrUCKING Way!" I am so glad that my 60 plus year old girlfriend was in agreement when I suggested that we Uber it over to International Guest House for tea with the Mennonites. There was a nice comfortable bed with nice clean sheet along with a European style breakfast in the morning. I would have woken up thinking I was haunting my own wake if by great miracle I managed to actually fall asleep in that Sanctuary.     Abracadabra  |

What a busy time you had!! I hope that you will get positive results. Right! Our bodies don't handle the abuse the way they did in the past.... sighhh.

Sounds like an interesting, and hopefully fruitful trip! Now, about sleeping on floors.... as you say, "No FiretrUCKING way!" I have a hard enough time just sitting on the floor, and then getting back up. If I slept there, I don't know how I would ever get back up off of it.  Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
