Over the last few years or so I have started to feel more and more that my brain is sort of turning to mush. Well, maybe that’s not a pretty way to put it but as I am not learning as many new things anymore (which is natural as I am out of college now), I feel that I am taking a step back intellectually. This is also likely amplified because my job is quite routine and doesn’t allow for many educational opportunities.

For these reasons, I have taken it upon myself to expand my horizons and continue my education out of the classroom. I plan to do this by travelling to new cities and historical sites, such as Washington DC. I have heard good things about some of the available educational tours DC, and would love to enjoy a bus tour of the area while a knowledgeable operator explains the importance of various landmarks. I’m sure that such a tour would be very intellectually as well as visually stimulating, and help to satisfy my craving to learn new things. If any of you have taken such a tour, I would love to hear about your experience, so feel free to leave a comment or shoot me an email.
