Nanda, Leilani, R., and I went to dinner and the movies last night. We saw War of the Worlds. The most noteworthy part of our night was during a dramatic moment in the movie involving an electrical storm when the power cut out due to the real life storm outside our theater. Once we emerged from the theater, guided by emergency lighting from a generator, emergency vehicles with lights and sirens were all rushing off somewhere and the surrounding area was all dark. It was eerie.
This morning I went to Mt. Vernon with some of my health classmates who are also interning here in DC. The website doesn’t do it justice. I can’t actually post pictures b/c a crucial part of my camera/computer link is in Boston. However, this was my second time to the estate and the land remains one of the most beautiful places I have seen in my life.
I was then giving a mini-tour to my friends on the car ride back home. Here is Old Town, here is the Mt. Vernon path I run and bike on, oh look, there is Iwo Jima and Arlington Cemetery is around the corner. We’re driving through Georgetown right now-aren’t those homes gorgeous? Monuments and interesting stuff just APPEARS all over the place every few feet. I am falling in love a lot with the DC area (there is more to this place than just DC!!!) and I think I am definitely going to try and finagle my way down here after I graduate but we shall see.
I might do some abs and/or knee stuff later. Or not. I actually have some work/school stuff to take care of before perhaps seeing War of the Worlds Part II (the latter half!).
