I met up with my friend from CGU at the metro, although a bit late due to a metro delay, we barely made it before the boat sailed away (we ended up having to walk from a farther station, in the sauna heat, and if we hadn't been able to flag a cab about halfway there, we would have never made it!). Anyways, the cruise was a great way to spend my first weekend here. We had lunch, I took a ton of pictures, and there was even dancing. It felt a little like a wedding, but without the annoying family or crazed bride. My pics didn't really turn out very well, but here are the highlights:

After the cruise I headed home, tried the walk from the metro station home (note to self: TAKE THE BUS), and crashed inside the cool, relaxing apartment. That evening, I went out with my new roommate to a party for her neighbor. I got to meet all of her neighbors, plus the friends of my California roommate who connected me with Amy (the Virginia roommate). It was nice to be greeted by warm and friendly faces!
The next day, I had vowed not to leave the apartment (due in large part to my lengthy walk home from the metro the day before). This turned out to be a pretty good plan, considering the record heat wave passing through the DC areas the past few days. Plus, I had done enough on Friday and Saturday to last me a while.
