NCVS 2013 - Day #3

Another short phone post because mom is hogging the computer. To see more info about her days, check out www.acupofstonesoup.blogspot.com.

Today has been a long day but wonderful. It her been a long time since I have been able to spend this much time with my mom and it has been really sweet. We got up early this morning and headed in to town since I sighed up for an 8:30am session. The closing plenary session was immediately afterwards and they announced - just as we hoped- that next year's conference will be in Atlanta. That is tons more convenient for numerous reasons so I hope that e can send some staff to this next year.

We had a good lunch of Chinese food in Chinatown and then spent the entire afternoon in the Newseum. I found it particularly interesting because many of the events highlighted were more recent events, not in my lifetime necessarily but things that I had more knowledge about.
Photos below: a piece of the Berlin Wall and a map of countries that do not have freedom of press.
Feet are tired but we are having fun. Dinner tonight with my friend that us hosting us at one of her favorite places...then more sightseeing tomorrow!
