DC Singles Retreat

So....it's been awhile since I've blogged....this is harder than I thought =)

Let's see...where to start?!...Last weekend, I went to DC for the Singles Retreat there ("Eternal Flame") for July 4th. It was a wonderful experience. There were Christians from NYC, Florida, Utah, Boston, St. Louis, Cleveland, Richmond, NoVA, Montgomery and of course DC. There were probably others from other places but these were the people I got to meet and hang with!

The weekend started with a hungry bus ride! It was Friday, July 2nd and I was counting down the hours til I leave work for the 1:45pm Chinatown bus to DC. I needed to leave early to make the bus so I thought I'd get lunch on the way to the bus....of course that didn't account for the subway taking its time, so I got to the bus just in time. There was a hot dog stand 20ft away but Yahaira wasn't feeling too adventurous! =)

So unfortunately that meant a good 5 hour drive with nothing in my stomach except....hmmm, can't remember (this is what I get for taking so long to write! lol). Well I think I at least had some sort of breakfast, ah yes I remember, BEC (bacon/egg/cheese on a roll). Yahaira and I talked for like 2 hours, trying to forget that we're both starving! After awhile, I bored Yahaira to death and she fell asleep =) I, on the other hand, was trying to hear the Ghana vs Uruguay game which this guy had on his laptop (too bad I missed watching the penalty kicks, those are the good stuff!). Eventually we arrived and went straight for food!

We took the Red line to Dupont Circle and walked to hotel and got in just in time for some great singing and haven't missed any of the message! (K to be continued later cuz it's 130am and I got work tomorrow! =P)
