The last time I was in Washington DC was on an 8th grade field trip. This is what I learned: It is possible to finish and entire card game of war, there is no Macys in the Capital Mall, and reenacting the battle of Gettysburg with 100 8th graders is not a good idea. So last night, one of the other volunteers and I wandered around DC, really looking for food, but ended up running into the Washington Monument and the White House. These are both very large buildings, and you would think one wouldn't just stumble upon them, but it was cold and dark and a bit confusing with all the security and roadblocks set up in preparation for the Inauguration. This morning a few of us set out to see things (again), we stayed out for about 2 hours until it started pouring so I'm back in bed until our official meetings start at 2pm and we're off to Guatemala tomorrow morning!
