Washington, D.C.
July 20, 2006
Washington was incredible, as I knew it would be. Twelve of us drove to the city last Friday night (five in my car, seven in a van) and arrived at our hotel within three hours.
And the hotel! It was amazing. Guy, the boy from England who I often travel with and one of my closest friends here, came through again with his unbelievable discount. Our rooms were five star, first class luxury in the middle of the city for the price of a student hostel in the middle of nowhere. Free toiletries from Bath and Body Works. Twenty-four-hour valet service. There was a sauna.
Saturday was spent running around the city, trying to squeeze in as much sightseeing as possible before we could go out on Saturday evening. I got to wear my new black Calvin Klein dress. And really, wearing that dress on a Saturday night while walking through an incredible city on the arm of a gorgeous international boy would make any girl as giddy as a schoolgirl. A schoolgirl who was able to leave school for the summer and travel with amazing people. I was the only American in my group and it was fantastic.
I have so many little stories to type up about the weekend, as well as my entire trip to New York city, which was equally incredible and still not down on paper. Or screen. I also would like to must begin writing one post, with corresponding pictures, for each of the people I meet or work with here. Even though I hope to keep in touch with them beyond this summer, I don’t want the strong memories I have of them to fade, especially if I’m unable to travel as much as I wish in the future. How’s that for cliché?
Even on the days when I’m extremely homesick, I know that I was so right to have made the decision to come here.
So, more to come. So much more.

Wow first class luxury! You lucky girl. Is that the room in the picture? It looks great.
Aw you didn’t take a picture of you in that CK black dress!

Sounds like an awesome time! Was there a jacuizzi-style bathtub? I’ve always wanted one of those.
