It's January 18th and I have been stateside for almost two weeks and I must say it is good to be back. I spent the first two weeks working in DC. If I were to move back to the US at any point soon, DC would definitely be my first choice. (Although a move back seems unlikely in the near future). Unfortunately, Armen and I did not have an opportunity to do any sight seeing this time. Last year we made it to the National Gallery, the zoo, and took a full day tour of all the sights. This year we were stuck in the hotel due to heavy heavy downpours.

Now I am in LA (no not Glendale) where I will spend the next three weeks. It seems the mudslides have passed so I am passing my days in 80 degree weather. In addition to a few doctor visits, Armen and I will have the opportunity to visit Las Vegas and San Fransisco! Armen seems to prefer seeing a boxing match - maybe I can convince him that Circe du Soleil is better... it's worth a shot anyway. I would like LA so much better if I didn't have to drive a minimum of two hours each day!
