When I hear everyone keep talking about the National mall I was puzzled at first because I was told the closest mall was in Virginia. So I kept asking over and over what mall are you people talking about and it took me some time to finally realize where this mall was. Today I explored this gorgeous mall with my friends Johnny and roommate Melissa. We went to the American History museum for a bit and saw all of the cool exhibits and this adorable doll house from the early 20th century. We walked back all the way home. Walking everywhere has been an enlightening experience. I feel a weight lifted off me because I don't need to use a car. Yuri, my roommate took me out to this political event at Local 16 on U Street and it was a great networking event watching the State of the Union Address. Its really amazing how we were watching it right here in the capitol. Eep! Close by was the legendary Ben's Chili Bowl. So delicious. I fangirled and sat where Obama sat. Another fun day.
