After Church, today mom and Scott drove me to Midway Airport. I got right through checking my bags but someone had to search my backpack. I think the solar charger showed up weird on their x-ray. Another lady kind of patted me down, too. It was a little weird but everyone was really nice and it went pretty quickly. 

I sat in the terminal for about an hour and finally got to board the very full plane. I did get a window seat though. I think we flew right over INDU! 

The flight left a little late but we landed in one hour and twenty minutes. Once at REagon Airport, I took a free Airport Shuttle to the Metro station. On the bus, I met a librarian at a lawyer's office from Chicago. We worked together to find the metro station. There we parted ways. I had to take the yellow. Then switch to the red. Getting off of the yellow I met a young doctor who helped me find my way to the correct red line. He was here for an interviewfor a neurology residencye. He was from Oklahoma City. He was telling me about Southern Nazarene University near where he lives. 

Off of the red line at DuPont Circle, a nice couple gave me directions to Connecticut Street. I had to ask a few people because I could not find a sign and there were about five streets off of DuPont Circle. I had to walk about a half of mile. A lot of it was uphill. I looked so stupid walking with my suitcase. It was a really busy social area and it was getting dark. I called Scott to tell him I was almost there when I realized I wasn't on Connecticut anymore. I had to go back a street and climb even higher. Another nice guy that was also here for the conference gave me some directions. 

Matt and the kids brought me some of their leftover pizza and I settled in my room for the night. I have a great view.
