90ish days of summer
Tomorrow at 11 a.m., I begin my photo/multimedia internship at washingtonpost.com.
I can’t lie: I am excited, nervous and thrilled as all hell out.
At 10 a.m., I’m meeting Kourtney for coffee. Kourtney is also an MU journalism student interning in the Post‘s digital newsroom. We’ve never met, but it is nice knowing there will be another Tiger nearby, and hopefully having coffee and arriving together at the newsroom office will help calm our nerves!
Today — Memorial Day — Jeff’s family and I are going to Baltimore to visit the cemetery there and then eat crabs. (One of Jeff’s goals for the summer is to get me to eat soft-shelled crab — I’m squeamish about crustaceans still in their shells!) I’ll have photos and everything up tonight from that, and then get a good night’s sleep and be ready for my first day in the morning.
In the meantime, here are some photos from Friday!
A man jogs in front of the U.S. Capitol Building. As you can read in the post before the previous post, we didn't get to tour the building.
We then went to the Library of Congress, where we also were unable to get a tour and see the rest of the building.
The Library of Congress does not allow photography of the Gutenberg Bible or the Great Bible of Mainz. So, being sly, I took this photo instead.
After leaving the Library of Congress and briefly photographing the Supreme Court building, we ate dinner on the Hill and then walked to Nationals Stadium. This is on the way to the stadium.
At the Nationals game vs. the Orioles. This is some wonderful evening light over the stadium.
As always, you can click HERE to view more photos from Friday and my stay in D.C. thus far.
Words and Light 
Darn you with all these wonderful picture posts, Chris… I miss DC, particularly the Nats’ new stadium (which I last visited during its construction for a WPNI story).
You’re welcome! It’s a pretty neat stadium – I like that the concourse is all open-air so you can still watch/hear the game while you’re getting your chili dog or beer.
That’s what I meant to say — thank you.
Kourtney is super nice and sweet. You’ll definitely get along well. She’s a great person to have around. Especially a Mizzou colleague. Good luck! Best wishes.
