Went on the most demanding hike I've ever been on today. But now not only have I lost many pounds, but I've always seen incredible waterfalls and I've said it before and I'll say it again: Virginia is one beautful state.
So I was at Monticello yesterday and it wasn't actually the house that was interesting, but the nature surrounding it. The colors here are so strong, and they dominate everything around them. It is absolutely stunning. Then the trip went to the university and I have to say that even though that might sound boring, it was not. Seriously, that university is incredible - not just because of Thomas Jefferson's architecture, but because a) it has an art gallery, b) it has thirteen libraries, c) okay, so the architecture is fantastic, d) there are about 20 lawns where you can just be and they are very pretty (very!), e) it's huge, f) it has a university town of its own outside it and g) it even has an amphitheatre. I want to study there. I don't even care what it'd be.
Afterwards I got tipsy at a winetasting which is a pretty good trick apparently and went out for some good old mac'n'cheese; something I've fallen guiltily (is that a word even?) in love with here.
