Five days ago we landed in Baltimore and happily trundled our bags into the district. Ok who am I kidding? We were up until four in the morning the night before trying to fit all of our stuff into the one backpack/chest that Andrew was carrying....it didn't go well. FIve bags later, we were regretting not having purchased two of the $70 bags at Academy. Anyway two hours after landing, we were happily ensconsed at Orrick DC and pestering Dianne while she waited to finish work. We were soon on our way to an amazing Indian restaurant. After we offered to pay John looked at us and reminded us gently that we were unemployed...we asked him to come on our trip with us :) Anyway we spent three days with John and Dianne which was wonderful, I awoke each morning (or mid-afternoon) to a fresh pot of coffee and yogurt. I decided rather than going on a trip, I would try to hide out in John and Dianne's house...Tommy (their lab) explained to me that only he had the privilege of lazing about. On Friday Annie and I with a whinng Andrew traipsed about to Dunkin Donuts. We had decided that we wanted to go on a sugar-free thing...so we started off with a bang...Next we went to the supermarket to purchase three bottles of wine...all those brands costing $5 or less, but with alcohol percentages of greater than 11.5%. Andrew was sad to say good bye to ArborMist, but he was able to do it in the end. Anyway, we had a lovely night watching Hot Fuzz and eating at IHOP while pretending to be British. In honor of our recent vow of stopping eating meat, we decided to get extra sausage...tomorrow we are going to Georgia Browns....ok that is enough for now, although tonight we went to Tami and Bretts and tried out their fabulous Chicken with Rice aka Pollo con Arroz y vino y ice cream with Brownies bites. It was awesome. Ok, tomorrow it is an all you can eat buffet for breakfast...we are storing up our fat reserves for the trip, and Andrew is on a DP drip.
