DC Conference Day 2

After getting up and grabbing some breakfast, we headed to the Metro to get to our conference at Impact Hub by 10. We were thrilled to see Mac Hamilton, STAND Executive Director, and Grace Fernandes from the national leadership team (both Harwich/Monomoy alums). The conference was a pretty intense review of the situations in Burma, Yemen, and Burundi, and we also had time to prepare for our presentations for Lobby Day tomorrow.
Following the conference, we grabbed a bite at Shake Shack, then did our night monument tour - for the first time we did it as a walking tour, starting at the White House, then heading to the MLK, FDR, and Lincoln memorials, and well as the Korean and Vietnam memorials.


The last bit of our walk got interesting, as we hiked over to the Arlington Cemetery stop, only to find that it was closed after 8, so then finding our way to the Pentagon stop, and then a short Metro ride to Crystal City, and finally our shuttle to the hotel. Time for sleep!
