We are often asked: "What do you do with all your time?"
Our initial reaction is "what time?", since our daily life is busy. Even though we are retired and every day is Saturday, our everyday life in D.C. is filled with all sorts of activities.
When we first arrived in D.C. in December last year, our typical activities revolved around being tourists--exploring all the museums and monuments that D.C. has to offer. Our initial experience in NYC and Florence was similarly touristy.
As Year 3 in D.C. has progressed, our daily lives have gradually shifted from us being tourists to us living locally. For example, we visit museums less often and spend more time doing volunteer activities and socializing with long-time and new friends. Years 1 and 2 shifted in a similar way.
You might have noticed the gradual change in our blog posts. Instead of frequent posts about visiting the National Gallery of Art, lately you might have noticed more posts about dining out and other activities with friends and more posts about local entertainment and sports.
About two months ago, Susan started a new volunteer activity. Here's a hint: The activity occurs at the historic Y.M.C.A.
