Let’s go with Saturday, then. Saturday, November 15. Where shall we do it? ---

I can’t make the 15th–we’re celebrating my sister’s birthday that evening. Darn. ---

Saturday is fine with me. -Lunch or Dinner? -Is this intended to add to your cute Canadian friend’s tourist experience, or will meeting Doper’s be exotic enough without additional sightseeing? -Can we try to keep the cost on the inexpensive side? ---

I don’t know, what’s good for you? ---

I’m so flexible, I’m a pretzel. ---

I know, but I have no intention of eating myself. ---

That’s good. I have no intention of watching such a thing. So - Saturday. Do you want to sight-see with us and then do dinner? ---

That sounds good. **Opal** and I are up for whatever you decide. (I think it’s safe for me to speak for her.) You’ve done the Smithsonians already, which is good because there aren’t any restaurants on the mall. I don’t mind driving - has she seen Annapolis? How about Old Town Alexandria? Either of those would be good sightseeing and also give plenty of restaurant choices. The weather should be mild tomorrow, thank goodness, because that wind has given me a completely new doo! ---

I am not sure how much sightseeing my knees are up for. Additionally, Dominic has a doctor’s appointment at noon. I may have to just hook up with you folks later for dinner. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/madinner-meeting-the-visitor/211954.md?page=2)
