Final Stretch

We only have a few more days left at orientation before we go to the Orient! We'll be going back to NM on Thursday for one more week with family and friends. We fly out first week of April!!!



We've still been experiencing some interesting weather. Last week we got a foot of snow and high of 8 degrees. A couple days later all the snow was melted with high of 80 degrees (see before and after snowman picture below!) This week has been mostly cold and rainy.

We got to go to D.C. yesterday. We got to have a few cultural experiences. One was mastering the metro to get around. We then went to China town (more like China street, sort of) where we ate delicious Authentic Chinese food. We didn't see many people around like we thought we would, maybe due to the fact of it being freezing cold and rainy outside. There were a ton of people in the Museum of Natural History and a Portrait Museum though. We didn't get to do much touristy things like see the white house or Abe Lincoln's Memorial, but overall it was a good experience. We got to see many things in passing and hope to one day to go back for a sunny day of tourism!

Oh, we mustn't forget one more important note. We've become good friends with a Korean family while here. The wife taught Dana how to make Kimchee. She had a fun time learning this unique skill, and John had a good time eating it!
