A day in New Freedom

The following are some pictures from a beautiful day I got to spend in New Freedom in York County, Pennsylvania.

One of my best friends from school is from PA and her sister who lives in DC let me hitch a ride to spend the day with their family! We watched the Penn State game, gossiped over cookies and chex mix, visited the amish market, saw some gorgeous country side, cuddled with the dogs and had a fabulous family dinner.











What a beautiful chance to escape from the concrete jungle.

A perfect fall

Pictures from a day exploring Arlington National Cemetery with Rachel and Chris. Perfect weather, gorgeous changing leaves, beautiful company!
Pictures were taken by me (except one obviously) and are property of me, yadda yadda.

Dear Mom:

I promise I'm taking a ton of pictures! Please accept my apologies about not posting =) Here are some highlights and I promise to write more... one day!


Here are the three CLU girls =) Rachel, Nancy and Kj

The Newseum: an incredible interactive museum about journalism in America. It has really awesome exhibits ranging from the powerful September 11th exhibit to a hallway of pictures taken by the presidents' photographers capturing intimate moments like the one above where Barry lets an employee's son touch his hair to see if it felt like his.

Chris had his appendix taken out at GW, quite fun. Don't tell him I posted this =)

One wednesday after a field trip I was walking with a group of friends and we ran into a group of about 400 Egyptians protesting the death of 24 Coptic Christians in Cairo that week. It was completely coincidental and I felt so lucky to have witnessed it! It really reminded me of the spirit many Egyptian people have. We asked them how they all came together from around the country and a woman told us "oh yanni my friend just called me from Tennessee and yanni I came you know." Arab loyalty, not a myth.

Maira and I getting our two cents in while we visited protestors with Occupy DC and Stop the Machine

"Money for people, not wars" at Stop the Machine 2011 where protestors had organized food drives, first aid and overnight accommodations.

Myself and two fellows channeling Lady Gaga at DC's famous Drag Race a few days before Halloween

Sound Tribe on stage in Virginia

Rachel and I made pumpkins!! Their names are Bruce and Monica =D They go to Georgetown, they're very hip.

Unfortunately you can't really tell by this picture but IT SNOWED!!! All day last on saturday October 20th!! Happy happy haaappy day!!! (this was taken behind our building, not the best view, but that's the ABC head quarters up ahead)
