Suffice to say we never planned on being anywhere, let alone Washington, DC for as long as we have. We’ve shattered our record of four straight nights in Austin, TX by staying a whopping 14 nights. Wow. I didn’t even expect it to add up to that much.

I think we were really tired. I think we had to have been so tired to stay in one place for so long. Thanks go endlessly to Marilyn for the use of the apartment. We feel whole, rested and inspired again.

I think that this part of the trip was a completely anonymous fog to us, and now we are here, entering it blindly. We were supposed to know where to live by now, supposed to be working somewhere by now, supposed to, basically, have it ALL figured out.

We don’t. But you know, I feel that there is something of a revelation on its way for me. I really do.

Also, the realization that we had these two weddings, two of my best friends are getting married within a week of each other in Portland, OR, we had to get to these weddings and we kind of freaked out. Right in the middle of the trip, granted, we were supposed to be long back to the west coast by then, but we had to really change plans, or at least a way around the whole concept. So its ended up being, see our friends and the places to be on the East Coast, fly back to Portland, fly back to East Coast, find temporary work, live happily ever after.

It sounds pretty crazy, I know.

Well, the time spent in Washington has been fast for us, flowing by way too fast, but to sum it up in a way I will say that we’ve seen so many pieces of art, exhibitions, galleries, historical monuments and sites that it is as if we didn’t stop traveling at all.

We’re heading to New York tomorrow, it turns out, we will be skipping Philadelphia for the moment.
