After 7 glorious months in the Californian desert I have finally returned to Connecticut. I had such a lovely time there and will miss everyone I met. On my last weekend we managed a night out drinking, and then a party at a colleagues house with the highlight being the beer pong and drinking games. I am very sad to leave :-(
It is such a culture shock to be back in Connecticut. Just over a week ago I was sitting by the pool with the temperature at around 30 degrees centigrade. Today in Connecticut it is -3 degrees and has been snowing. The snow that fell earlier has had now turned into ice and it is a nightmare walking around as it’s like a skating rink. It’s quite funny as when I first got the US there was really thick snow, and now just before I leave it is snowing again. Thank goodness for California in between.
Last weekend I did manage to get in a bit more travelling and went to Washington DC for a few days. It was the Thanksgiving holiday so it was a great way to spend time off. The only problem was that the queues were so long for all the museums that I didn’t get to go to any. I did manage to do a lot of sightseeing though and saw The White House, Capitol House, The Smithsonian Castle, The Lincoln Memorial and The Washington Monument. After all the sightseeing I also got to go shopping :-)
