Old friends in new places

We finally made our way into the District of Columbia at sunset on Friday evening.

Who knew apartment hunting could be so exhausting?  Well we put off sightseeing for the next couple days and enjoyed our first night out in DC...in China Town! 

 


The gate sure was elaborate - but the town itself didn't compare to San Fran's.  But we still enjoyed ourselves - the streets and bars were crowded - proving it's still a hot spot.

We spent the next couple nights catching up with old friends.....

Fellow Mountbattens!  Justin and Jenn

Marchies!  Evan and Cecile (Mama C # 2)

Our lovely host Caroline! We go back 10 years

It was nice to see familiar faces in unfamiliar settings.  DC was starting to feel like home already!  Our next step is to get the touring done with so we can start acting like locals.
