DC Day 1
Okay, so after an inordinate amount of airport hassle, I am officially into my new home in Washington DC.
First, the inordinate hassle:
I was supposed to be here yesterday. I was in the plane and all packed and everything, we were even on the runway. When the captain informed us that (notice the quotes) "This plane is dead". Not the best beginning of a cross country flight. It wasn't until 2:00 that afternoon that I finally got my luggage and out of the freaking airport! But anyway, here I am a day latter but not late.
Unfortunately tomorrow doesn't look all that exciting, I'm stuck in a variety of orientations until 2:00, after which I hope to go look around the neighborhood some. Try to figure out what there is to see in the immediate few blocks, find the metro stop and the grocery store, that sort of thing.
I start my internship bright and early on Thursday. Which will no doubt give me a great many more things to talk about. But so far, so good.
More to come I'm sure.
Oh, and I saw this at the Minneapolis/St.Paul Airport... in case you can't tell, that is an iPod Vending Machine... what is this world coming to?
