Back to the beach!

The weather has been gorgeous and in the 50-60s. This past weekend I went to Ocean City, and walked the boardwalk with other people out enjoying the return of sunshine to the Eastern Shore.

This weekend I have plans to go to Assateague beach and walk, and go out Saturday night with some coworkers who are also single. Should be super fun.

Thursday the 19th I catch my flight home to Athens for a week! SQUEE! We have plans to go to the Ga Aquarium on Saturday, and I'm meeting some friends for lunches on Mon-Tues. My 29th birthday is on Tuesday. No one believes me that I'm 29 b/c so many people who are not 29 lie. But we all have to be 29 once, people!

The following Saturday, the 28th, I've signed up to go on a school trip to DC and see the Arab embassies. We'll see:

• the Palestinian Center
• the private residence of the Syrian Ambassador to the US
• Presentation & Traditional Arab Dinner at the following embassy:
  Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia
• Kennedy Center for Arab Festival Exhibits & Performances
  
• Nawal, the singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known as “The Voice of Comoros,” performs her acoustic roots-based fusion, which is rhythmically compelling and beautifully lyrical.
• Lebanon's Caracalla Dance Theatre performs Knights of the Moon, a theatrical extravaganza of jealousy, hidden identities, and love staged by an acclaimed creative team with an original musical score and innovative choreography.

Needless to say, I'm super excited! There's a 5 mile walk on March 1st I'm thinking of diong in preparation for the 13 mile half-marathon walk I'm doing later in March with my coworker Mandy. It'll be down in Va Beach around St Paddy's day, and we must wear green. :)
