Hello again, I'm borrowing a friend's laptop to post a quick update. For some reason, my iPad 2 doesn't want to connect to the airport's wifi while hers is. Anyways, my time in D.C. has flown by so quickly. Haven't slept much, but its been great getting to know everyone. I guess there's only 62 of us, not 67. Meet a lot of great people, still struggling to attach all their names to faces.
I went to see the memorials and the White House Thursday morning, and they were really cool. It felt very strange to see the Federal Appeals building, the Federal Patent building, and the Treasury. Also, the guys with big semi-autos at the White House were awesome. I really wish I'd had time to see the museums at the Mall, but there wasn't time. The Holiday Inn we all stayed at was in Georgetown, which is absolutely gorgeous. All the sidewalks are of brick and most of the buildings are too; it looks very stately, historic and pricey. Very chic. Other than that not much has happened. We went to bars both nights and had some drinks, but it was very low-key as everyone was trying to get to know each other. We're all headed to Peru now, so its getting exciting finally. Anyways, I'm going to give the laptop back and get some lunch before the flight. I'll try to post a more thought-out blog when we get to Peru and I have a moment to myself.
