Orlando to Washington DC
We drove to Orlando airport and dropped our rental car off, then caught our flight to Washington DC after making it through the ridiculous security queues.
We used Lyft (a service like Uber) to get to our Airbnb in the suburb of Takoma Park, which is just across the border from DC in Maryland. The difference in the weather was immediately noticeable, it was cool but sunny and quite pleasant, with the sort of feel you get in autumn back home.
We checked out the neighbourhood, it appeared to be a very middle-class kind of suburb, with an expensive natural foods co-op grocery, coffee shops and a few restaurants and bars.

We decided to go a little further afield to see if we could find a cheaper grocery store, and walked about 20 minutes to the next suburb. As soon as we crossed a major highway we could see the difference in the houses, they weren't as "grand" as the nice ones we'd been walking past, and as we walked across the car park to the supermarket a beggar approached us asking for spare change. In the supermarket the range of food was very different - it now had Mexican, Asian and Carribean sections, and of course much more reasonable prices.
