Today's Rest, Tomorrow's Mountains

Today is day 6, and it is our very first rest day. After conquering some of the east coast for the past 5 days, we have arrived in Washington D.C. for a much needed rest day. What an amazing experience it has been thus far and there is still so much land to cover. My concept of time is just completely a blur, the days between getting off of the train in New York City to arriving at George Washington University last night have become a jumble of awesome memories.Every city we reach and all the people we encounter impress me more and more every day. When we were in Philadelphia, PA, we left the stay-over, walked maybe 2 blocks to get food donations and came back with 3 large pizzas, delicious fruit and veggies, 28 sandwiches and loaves of bread, and last but not least soup salad and bread sticks from Olive Garden! If that isn't a feast, I don't know what is. This trip is off to a great start and there's really nowhere to go from here but up. Literally, mountains here we come!
