It’s my 29th birthday, and I just got back from an awesome 4-day trip to Washington, D.C. Four of my friends from college/San Francisco now live there–Cher, Alexi, Kathryn, and Elliotte–and our other good friend Kari came down from New York, so it was quite the reunion! It was so fun to see everyone, and I have to say that Alexi deserves some sort of medal for hanging out with girls the entire time with zero complaints.

Kathryn and I were roommates while studying abroad in Santiago, Chile, where all of the foreign exchange students drank liters of draft beer (litros de schop) like it was our (our) job. Here we are nine years later partaking in some of the same!  All that is missing is some fried empanadas and Big Pan.
