life

I'm settling in well to life in DC! My job is great; I'm exploring new restaurants and places to go out (at least one new place a week); checking out the museums; attending other DC cultural events (World Cup games shown on giant screens in Dupont Circle? yes! Open embassy days? yes! Pride parade? yes!); and hanging out with friends, both visiting and local. It's true, everyone comes through DC for work and it's awesome. Also, surviving mishaps such as cat-induced computer malfunctions, food poisoning, cats with eye infections, the wonky Metro, and other similar adventures. Oh yeah, and bemoaning the weather. I do not know how this New Englander is going to survive the summer here. Seriously, I'm already ready to die and it's only mid-June. We've already had a week straight of 90+ temps and the humidity is killer. What do you know, it's not the heat, it's the humidity! One thing I do love here is how late the days go--it's not even the Solstice yet and it's still light out till after 9pm. Love it!

Here's a selection of photos from the last couple of months:
