Arrival in Washington, D.C.

This will be a very quick post, but I wanted to say that I've arrived safely in Washington, D.C. for my internship with the U.S. Election Assistance Commission!  I had a direct Delta flight from Atlanta to Ronald-Reagan National Airport.  The flight was surprisingly short (the stewardesses didn't even get to serve drinks due to a little mid-flight turbulance) and the landing was beautiful.  We got a very nice view of the Capitol and a few of the monuments as well as the Potomac River. A good friend and his wife picked me up from the airport, took me to dinner, and got me to Thompson-Markward Hall where I'm staying.  I've pretty much completely unpacked and plan to spend tomorrow picking up a few other necessities and figuring out how to maneuver the Metro system before I start work Monday morning.

Obviously, the food posts will be fewer and farther between this summer as I do not have access to a kitchen but I have several posts saved up to fill in some of the gaps.  I'm planning to blog about my internship either here or on a separate blog.  If I decide to use a seperate blog, I'll certainly cross post over here.  I miss everyone already but I'm excited to be here!  Everyone has been very nice thus far and I think this is going to be a good experience.  Until next time :)
