First Week Of Washington D.C.

Our first day of work! We packed our own lunches and just like the first day of school we took pictures before we went out and on our way.This was our ride to church on Sunday. It is only a couple of stops away and there is barely anyone on the "Metro" (aka subway) on Sunday. The people of D.C. keep it very clean and take pride in their transportation system. They take so much pride in this system that everyone pitches in and helps out. I had a perfect example of that yesterday. I decided to eat my breakfast while traveling about 25 minutes into D.C. when a woman approached me. She explained to me how rude it was to eat on the Metro and how some people may be hungry or just want a little more. She also informed me that I could recieve a ticket (like a speeding ticket) if the police caught me. I told her I apologize and I didn't know there was any law about that. She then went on her way and the whole train went silent after they had heard our whole escapade. They were probably happy somebody mentioned to the new comer about this law I had never heard about and grateful that she took it upon herself to tell my roommate and I. I now know I will eat breakfast in my apartment and ONLY in my apartment so I can do my part to keep the transportation system clean and a proud citizen of D.C!

We went grocery shopping over the weekend and we had to carry a whole cart load home. We took many stops on the way to rest ourselves! Right before we arrived at the apartment complex a lady exclaimed across the sidewalk that we could have just asked for a cart. Next time we are definately using a cart. I was used to a nice car pulling into a garage with groceries for too long!
