So being the procrastinator that I am, I didn't start packing until 6pm Sunday evening for my flight that left Monday morning at 6am! Meaning, I didn't sleep. Only to arrive in D.C. to find that one of my bags didn't arrive with me! After they assured me they would drop it off at my hotel that evening, I was relieved that I didn't have to drag another heavy bag to the hotel (keeping in mind that I would be doing plenty of that later).
My first day in D.C. was nice. I had a little time to kill before I met up with Alissa so I went to see the Lincoln Memorial which was beautiful but freezing. Later, Alissa picked me up and we went to eat at an amazing burger joint called Good Stuff Eatery where I had a salty caramel milkshake and an awesome burger covered in sriracha mayo! I was incredibly stoked about this place. Not mention enjoying my last true american cheeseburger for a long time. After dinner, Alissa took me on a car tour of Capitol Hill. We were able to see all the major sites from the comfort of her warm car. I was pleased to be given a tour by someone who knew so much about the city.
Today I was occupied all day with my staging event, which was a brief orientation on what to expect when we arrive in Nicaragua. I will probably get about 2 hours of sleep (if I am lucky) because we have to meet down in the lobby at 1.30am! Once again, no sleep but I am looking forward to finally arriving in Nicaragua. Can't wait for the warm weather!
