Over the fourth of July weekend I had the great pleasure of heading down to our nation's capitol to get together with some friends that I spent my time in Israel with. All of the students I went to school with in Israel are now either scattered throughout the states or still over there studying away. My friend Anna and I (who was in Israel and is also a fellow student at GCTS) drove down to Virginia, just outside DC, to join a dear friend Karin!! Walt joined us from Southern Virginia and we had such a wonderful time!!


Walter brought moonshine....It was weird and probably won't be tasted again


We went to a beautiful meadow to watch fireworks and enjoy a fourth of July festival...they had some interesting hats there in the south!

Native Americans at the festival

We journeyed into DC to go to a folklife festival put on by the Smithsonian...it was really fun!

Then we crashed a wedding at the national cathedral.....it was still open to the public even though there was a wedding going on....so bizarre!

We finished off the vacation with a little bit of lounging around at Karin's and a little round of pool!
