The Adventure Begins

The unemployed unite for a summer fiesta across America. Today we drove through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware (we think), Maryland and Washingston DC.

With a slight detour in Philadelphia to congratulate Jul's perpetually more successful sister Amanda on her recent fellowship acceptance, we fought the weather and traffic to arrive at Jihan's apt. in DC.

After realizing the rest of our trip will be filled with down home gourmet dishes such as hamburgers, mac n cheese, and fried pickles, we went cultural and settled in on an Indian restaurant near Adams Morgan.

Thus began the first of many predictable moments where a server would mistake Jul (who will be known for the duration of this blog as BB) as a pre-pubescent 12 year old. Not only did he hold on to her ID while he quickly checked and returned the rest of ours, but he then proceeded to bring it out back and scan it as she waited impatiently for her evidently fake ID to be returned to her. When he finally came back, he gave her back her ID, laughed at her, and asked "Diet Coke for you?"

Tomorrow's agenda includes:
1. Waking up at 6:15am
2. Getting Jen coffee
3. Pumping our own gas
4. Driving to Nashville
5. Singin bad Karaoke at Lottie's


To end our first passage, here is a list of alternative blog names we came up with before our trip
