Sightseeing!

WELL loads has happened since my last blog! Orientation (Friday) was a mind boggling day of learning new equipment and procedures. Thankfully, the equipment was rather simple and easy to pick up, as were the uploading and online procedures.

Saturday Rachel and I went sightseeing with our three new friends from apt 303 upstairs, Eric, Garret, and Dillon. The first two are interning with a senator from South Dakota and the last is interning at the Library of Congress. We braved the bitter Washington wind to walk from our apartment to Capitol Hill, and across the Mall to the Lincoln Memorial. We also hit up a couple of the Smithsonian museums and the National Botanical Gardens along the way. The chilly day made it feel like a 10 mile trek, when in fact it was only 2.7 miles according to Google maps. Weenies! Here is a couple pics from our adventure:

In the last picture L-R is Eric, me, Rachel (roommate), Garret, and Dillon at the Washington Memorial.

More to come!
