Bethany Beach

A beautiful weekend in Washington, DC. My housemates and I, along with our community/spiritual advisor went out to Bethany Beach, Delaware for a retreat. Very informal, we focused on relaxing and getting to know each other better. We stayed in a beachfront townhouse owned by a member of the congregation. It was really wonderful. And we saw tons of dolphins. They swam so close to shore and there must have been 40 or 50 of them. It was unreal. It's still taking me awhile to get used to the fact that it takes so much longer to drive places here. There's just so much traffic. And I still can't quite handle this mile thing. They take so much longer to pass by than kilometres. Oh well, little things. In other news, they have the hugest Mormon temple here in Washington. You can see it when you're driving on the beltway rising above the trees. Five enormous white spires with the golden angel Moroni (?) on top. It has a very 'wizard of oz'-ish kind of feel to it. It's really something else when it's all lit up at night. Anyways, life is going good. I'm definitely keeping busy and will write again soon.
