DC

Short version:
DC is awesome.

Long version:
Aside from the stupid plane problems on both ends of the trip, DC was great, I should've stayed a few extra days because I think I did half of everything I wanted to do. There are far too many museums, monuments and galleries to check out in the span of three full days. Walking around everywhere is great, but blisters are not. I loved the contrast between some of the monuments, comparing something like the FDR monument to the Jefferson monument shows such a contrast, both in how we have evolved as a society in that we percieve and memorialize people in such contrastly different ways now. Frankly I actually like the FDR memorial more than most. The Holocaust Museum was one of the heaviest things I have ever seen or been too, extremely depressing and humbling to see how negligent our country was during that time.

On a happier note, 'Thank You For Smoking' is awesome, seeing it in DC with a friend who works on the Hill (and I worked with entertainment people) makes it incredibly awesome.

Restraunts that serve S'mores as dessert, and bring a live flame to your table for this, are also awesome. As are bars that have a beer-listing that is longer than some Harvard dissertations.

All in all I could keep rambling, I loved DC and will have to go back there at some point. If I stay in non-profit work, who knows, I could move there...
