DC

Hi Everyone!

We had a great time in Washington, DC the past few days. We arrived there on Wednesday and left yesterday afternoon. We had amazing Ethiopian food in Adams-Morgan Wednesday night (we don't know exactly what we ate but it was really good). On Thursday we walked around Columbia Heights and then went into downtown DC to see the White House and the Museum of Natural History (we liked the skeleton exhibit). That night we had dinner with Will's brother Ethan, then met up with my friends Katie, Jackie, Ryan, and Faye at a bar with live Jazz. We'd hoped that Katie would be singing there but it became too late and we hope to hear her another time. Thanks again to Katie and Jackie for letting us stay with you guys in DC! We had a lot of fun and wish we could have stayed longer. We are in Raleigh, North Carolina right now (Thanks Erica!). We can't believe the economy here. The apartments are insanely cheap and there are plenty of jobs. We're going to check out downtown Raleigh in a bit, and then head down to Ashville, North Carolina to see Will's friend Forest. We'll keep you posted!

Melissa and Will,
Sounds like you have had a great beginning to your journey! I have emailed Clare in Santa Fe, not response yet. If I don't hear back by tomorrow, I'll call her - they could be anywhere else in the world! I'll let you know! When are you going to be in Nashville?
Love to you both, Merka/Mom and Dad

Melissa and Will, We're so enjoying following your x-country adventure this way! It sounds as if you are certainly enjoying the food in each region! I'm curious about the weather you're encountering... has it been warm? No rain? It was great to hear how beautiful the fall colors are in the southern Appalacians. It is beautiful here, and has continued lovely comfortable weather, but will turn colder tomorrow - time to get out the hats and mittens for our early morning walks with Maisie and Moxie! I will call Clare today and will call Will's cell to let you know if I get to talk to her. I hope you can spend a little time in amazing Santa Fe, regardless.
We send you our love, Mom and Dad
