Took a four day trip to Washington DC so that when I'm "over there" I can intelligently talk about "over here". Or at least be up to date on our National Heritage. My sister had most of this trip planned and then we added to - ended up running from 6am to 7pm, putting in miles and miles, and took over 300 pictures. Caught myself spending 2 hours on the top floor of the Holocaust museum. What a fascinating/scary thing propaganda is. The most relaxing time was listening to the pipe organ at the National Cathedral (all 15 minutes at the start of Evening Song). Followed this by a mile speed walk to catch the Metro to Arlington cemetery to find them closing down.
My brother has been helping me set up my computer so I will have access to family, and English-language news and entertainment. Now all I have left to do is get my Nook under control and figure out how to download the library books. And get all the shots my sister thinks I need!
