So there's this awesome restaurant in Dupont Circle called Duke's Grocery that I went to yesterday and I can't get over how much flavor there was in this burger I had. It was called the proper burger, everyone go try it. I finally got to meet with one of the fellow NatGeo interns there and his stories were unbelievable. His name is Aaron and he studied wolves and has traveled all over. We were both jealous of each others accomplishments, but I couldn't get over the research he has done. Talking about the stories of our conversations on the phone when we got the call to accept our internships were priceless.

I took the Amtrak for the first time ever and it was smooth sailing until I had to change trains. I have been catching up with my family here in the East coast and i'm excited to be here in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Yes, Hershey as in the chocolate. The lamp posts are shaped like kisses and it is too adorable. My Aunt Gladys and Uncle Neil are really amazing hosts. Their house is oh so beautiful with a victorian vibe and the snow cover just made it christmas card perfect. I had to take a picture. They even took the time to go grocery shopping with me and I showed them how to make chili and my aunt taught me how to make bread from scratch. I really don't want to leave, but I feel like if I lived in a city like this after being in Los Angeles I would go crazy. Their closest mall looked like I was back in the 90s with my mom when I was in a stroller. What's awesome about Pennsylvania is how low the clothes tax here is. It is going to be a great weekend.
