On the Eve, Shed A Little Light
Not even a month ago, (most of) a family I’m friendly with came to visit Washington DC. They were on a whirlwind tour, taking the holiday break to show off more of the country than just their (adorable!) classic New England town to the local high school’s two Turkmeni exchange students.
