I know you've been holding your breath wondering what the dynamic duo are up to in these precious few days before take-off, so I thought I'd fill you in with a brief weekly review:
I had visions of ten calm days of unemployed rest and and relaxation before heading out on our adventure... not quite so. Before exploring Asia we decided we wanted to see as much of the United States as possible. We hit Philly on our way north from DC, highlighted by a fun night in the gayborhood and an indulgent trip to Reading Terminal. Late Saturday night, after a stop in NYC to pick up a highly coveted pair of trekking shoes, we made it to Rhode Island.
Monday was a loong day commuting into Boston. We started at BC's suburban law campus with a morning Civil Procedures class and a tour. Then we made our way downtown to tour Suffolk and attend an invigorating Constitutional Law class. A drink with Jill and dinner with Leila later, we trudged back to the commuter rail looking just as tired as the poor souls who were just getting out of work.
Next began our pilgrimages to Connecticut. Wednesday was UConn law tour day - a beautiful campus in the not so beautiful city of Hartford. We loved the drive so much we decided to return on Friday for a tour of Newington O&P Certificate Program, where we got to see a lotta legs.
The hours in between pilgrimages were spent eating all our favorite American foods with the Katchpoles, including American Chop Suey, New England Boiled Dinner, and Meatloaf. We are getting our comfort food kicks while we can.
And that brings us up to date, folks. We will continue our tour of the US this weekend with a trip to Minneapolis. More updates to come, and I'm sure we're all looking forward to departure date on Wednesday when we will actually have something exciting to report!

I have an idea: guest bloggers! Whenever people meet up with you, you could have them guest blog. Like, um, me. And, um, Robin. I guess that is pretty much it. Ok bye.
