Silver Spring

Reporting live from the Panera Bread in Silver Spring Maryland. I'm off the mountain. My training is over. I'm in Maryland for the next few days before I go to New York and then take off.
Here are some pictures from our going away party last Friday. Also pictures of my hair. Last night, I took some scissors from my mom's sewing kit and hacked my hair off.
No comment!

Then make sure you write a blog to let everyone know you made it safe and sound. Good luck on your adventure, I know you've been ready to go for a long time now.
