Snowy '04-'05

[Lisa Perez]

Hehe. Ok, so it was February 2003... (Corey will remember this one, too )

<edit> Ok, never mind, he beat me to it LOL </edit>

We were competing at a national Model UN conference in DC, and that whole week goes fine... Heck, it was about 50 and sunny. THEN, it decides to snow on about the second to last day. Let's just say Mother Nature didn't stop. We got about 2 feet of snow, and DC really wasn't prepared for it (which was a big change because, my team being from Michigan, we were used to seeing tons of snow plows).

The hotel let us stay for free, I think (I don't quite remember). We ended up staying there for about one week... and since we didn't have competition anymore, we ended up riding elevators, roaming through Georgetown trying to find random places that were open, and having plenty of snowball fights.

We had fun seeing the Puerto Ricans react to the snow, because they'd never seen it before. They were so excited!

Quite a few people got stuck in the snow in cars because they had never gotten that much snow... so we helped them out, too. We had fun knowing that we were able to have a great time and help people out at the same time.

Fun times .
