Vacationing in Fairfax, Virginia

I have been spending time here in Fairfax, Virginia with a former co-worker from Seattle.   It is beautiful here--very green.  When we drive along the roads, everything seems to be hidden behind the trees--it is hard to find a gas station or a restaurant because of this. 

We get up early in the morning (when it is nice and cool) to drink coffee outside and watch the birds using the bird feeder and listen to their songs. 

The metro here is so convenient--certainly wish we had the same in Seattle.  It is well used and easy to figure out.  I've gone into Washington D.C. several times--twice met a client that has a restaurant downtown.  Went to the Smithsonian and also the International Spy Museum.  People have been very friendly here and this is a place that I would recommend to both visit and settle.

Vacationing in Spain Etc.

 

I have been away vacationing in Spain.  I flew from Seattle to Virginia to meet up with my friend Debby and her son Michael to go together on an educational tour with her son's Spanish teacher and a few other parents and kids.  We were a group of nine that joined up with the tour making a total of 39.

It was through EFTours (http://eftours.com/Default.aspx).  It was a 9-day tour and we took a side trip to Morocco and Gibraltor.  We had local tour guides at each place and I would happily go along again on one of their tours.   I would have loved to have gone through private homes but this was very busy with a lot of walking.  I will post pictures after I get home. 

Currently, I am back in Virginia and today will take the Metro into Washington D.C. to tour the International Spy Museum and check out some of the Smithsonian.  Tomorrow we are going to Boston for a few days (never have been there before).  While there I am going to tour the Freedom Trail

I was lucky to have someone take over my business while I am gone and haven't had to think much about work.  She has been great--leaving me notes that are organized so that I can see what she has done.
