I am incredibly far behind in my blog updates, so here is my attempt to catch up. Be prepared for lots to read!
I spent the last weekend in June at a mini Berlin reunion in Washington, DC. My friends Michelle and John had gotten married in Berlin a few weeks before (they met when we were all teaching together in Berlin and now both live in Singapore) and were having a party to celebrate their wedding in DC since Michelle is from Virginia. Karisti and I were happy to represent their "Berlin life" at a fun-filled weekend in DC.
Karisti and I flew into DC at the same time, from different ends of the US, and spent Thursday doing some sightseeing. It was hot, hot, hot in DC and we nearly melted, but we still had a great time. We walked from the Smithsonian all the way down to the Lincoln Memorial, with many water breaks along the way.
We stopped to put our feet in the water at the World War II Memorial and I reminisced about being in DC in 2004 and being a part of the dedication of this memorial with my students from West. It was an incredible experience and I have a lot of good memories from that weekend. It was fun to be back in DC again and to see the memorial and all the other places I had been with the kids.
