Well, I've been back in DC for over a week now and I've been doing some cool things. But I just can't seem to get it together to post anything on this blog. Sorry for those of you who actually do read this and notice when I don't post anything. Anyways...
Last Monday was a big day here in DC. I made it down to the immigration rights rally at the Capitol - I even got to leave work early to bike down there. A few observations...there was a sea of American flags (first rally I've been to here where it was so predominant)...the crowd was by and large hispanic (you might have seen the odd caucasian or african american). It was very cool, Si se puede! And lots of Spanish. I don't know if anyone has been following the immigration debate down here but there could be some pretty big implications if certain bills pass into law.
Easter was nice here. Lots of church. I attended a Christian seder meal on Maundy Thursday. The first part of the service was based on a traditional Jewish Seder, followed by a full meal and then a Eucharist liturgy. I also made it to my first Easter Vigil on Saturday at the Franciscan Monastery. Also my first Catholic service ever, can you believe! It was nice though. With passing the light and the different readings. But the most amazing part had to have been the setting - the monastery is beautiful. They have wonderful gardens full of tulips (yes, everything is green and blooming here!) and a beautiful sanctuary. And Sunday morning I had my wonderful Lutheran Easter service complete with Christ the Lord is Risen Today, breakfast and brass quintet. A very different Easter but good all the same.
