Well yesterday proved one thing. I'm just not cut out to be a world traveler! Oh, I made it here in one piece, but I just don't know how to prepare for traveling and get confused and lost and flustered. And the subway from the gate to the baggage claim at Dulles was, minute for minute, scarier than the flight!

But it's a beautiful morning here in Fairfax. After an evening of reminiscing (natsukashimu - odd the Japanese I've picked up,) and catching up with Celeste (and her husband and kids) and Nicole.) Of course, our takeoff was delayed almost an hour due to thunderstorms. Big adventures! More later. Thanks for your good wishes.

(By Sir Kevin Renner) Geek points to everyone who gets the reference.

Lincoln Memorial. Vietnam Memorial. WW II Memorial. Passed by the Washington Monument. Saw what might have been Marine One coming in to the White House. Smithsonian Museum of Natural History and Air and Space Museum. Old Post Office Tower. And somehow I never realized how much of this area is so green. Does a New Hampshire boy's heart good to see plenty of trees. I think I'd feel somehow naked if there weren't lots of trees around.

And that was just the first day! Actually hoping to slow things down a bit since while the sights are nice and fascinating, I'm here to see my friends. The whole tourist thing just isn't me. I'm already burned out on it. But it was a beautiful day in DC - not too hot and there were some nice breezes.

Tonight I'm going to attempt to cook some stir fry for my hostess and her son. Least I can do for all of the trouble she's putting herself to on my account.
