This past week Orn was able to sneak away to a conference in our nation's capital. He had a great experience, both at the conference and later in the week meeting up with contacts at the state department. He's looking forward to developing collaborative research relationships with people that met with this past week.
Orn also had the chance to meet up with my best bud from my Peace Corps days, Dana, who lives and works in DC. In fact, as it turned out, Dana's apartment was literally across Connecticut Avenue from the hotel that Orn was staying at! They got together one night and went for a long walk around DC before hitting a Chinese restaurant for dinner. The pictures are from the walk when Dana turned to Orn and said, "how about getting a picture here?" Orn looked around and said, "we're at the WHITE HOUSE!" Too funny. The gal who took the picture of the two of them apparently said to her friend, "I need to take a picture of this cute couple." Cute couple indeed! I received a very funny phone call from the two of them later in the evening! :)
