... the Metro station 10 minutes away. While I was a bit annoyed, in hindsight, I am glad that there is that degree of security consciousness.

I spent about 2 hours with my dad, fed him dinner, and then took the H2 Bus back to the Brookland Metro station. I rode the Red Line back to McPherson Square and walked back to the hotel. Stopped at a CVS to buy calamine lotion for some poison ivy I got this past weekend building a rock wall in my ...

... not that accessible, so gotta ask yourself what its gonna be like in Ecuador!) we eventually managed to find a place and then get robbed for the 10 minutes use on the net and a 20 sheet coupon of prints of which used 2 for $18... but what are you gonna do. So we catch the bus from the central bus station just off time square, again a bit of a hole really with absolute disorder everywhere, not clearly stating the times departure and all questions of to where we might go and ...

... nog meer hoogtepunten (letterlijk en figuurlijk) bekeken en bezocht zoals het mooie en rustige stranddorpje Sausalitas aan de overkant van de Golden Gate Bridge die we uiteraard zijn overgereden en van alle kanten bekeken hebben. Vanuit Sausalitas doorgereden naar de kust om even met de voetjes in de Pacific Ocean te staan. Het water was koud, het fototoestel van Liesbeth had weer een of ander kuurtje en weigerde dienst. Gelukkig wilde de camera ...

... I have been out here in DC. It is hard to believe that my time here is slowly winding down. I absolutely love everything about being out here. I feel like I actually live here now. I know my way around the Metro system and can give directions to people on the street. I know my way around most of the city and have experienced so much while I have been here. I am getting sad knowing that this is going to end soon. But, that is still a few weeks away so I will not dwell on it yet!!

... om det aa vaere utvekslingsstudent! Noe var treffende, noe var ikke..hehe.. I dag var nestsiste dagen paa jobb. Det var greit. Lite aa gjore naa, saa vi dro tidlig for aa se tenningen av the national christmas tree paa capitol hill. Det var kult, men saa sykt kaldt! Det snodde hele tiden og det var saa sykt kaldt. Fikk ikke tatt saa mye ...

... and the end of the zoo we saw why it was so busy. There was so many buses I could not get them all in the picture. We headed out to an Italian area in the Bronx. We ate at what is rated as one of the top Italian restaurants in all of New York, Roberto's. It was excellent as everything is made there and fresh. However the menu was a bit hard to understand ...

... The dog was holding a fishing rod and on the end of the rod was a plastic cup. Attached to the cup was a little sign saying "Fishing for Change". It turns out the dog was as real as the coins being chucked into the cup. The second example of creative thinking was a simple sign that appealed to a specific audience. The guy sat in a doorway and the sign before him read "Sith Lord killed my family, need money to pay for Jedi lessons to exact revenge!"

... which is outside Phoenix, in Tempe. I often refer to Phoenix as "The Promise Land" because it is my favorite place in the world to be and I have so many great memories and friends there. I definitely think I am more excited for Dean to be in Phoenix than he is to be there! Hopefully he will make as many good memories as I have in Phoenix! Well, I guess it's time I actually packed and get things together... Stay tuned for the adventures of Dean & Erin (and Bambi!)...Wish us luck!

... Monument, and for some insane reason just kept on walking, all the way to Lincoln. You can see how far I walked in the first photo below! But I was so happy to be in such a lovely open green city. There were even people playing Ultimate Frisbee (my sport) in the park. And lots of families and kids around, unlike New York, which seems to be all about money and fashion and a ...
