Harper's Ferry hike

This weekend, I took the MPRE (an ethics exam law students take before they can sit for the bar and since we're inherently unethical I found it to be harder than everyone says it is... for example, who knew that you can't put a $20,000 payment for your client in your own bank account in the Caymen islands for safekeeping?!).

But the real highlight of the weekend was that after the test Sohail and I went for a hike near Harper's Ferry, W. Va. The weather was great and the leaves were starting to change color. At the top of our hike was an overlook with an amazing view. We could see the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers which is also where W. Va, Virginia, and Maryland meet. Plus, Harper's Ferry is a really cute town where some homes and storefronts have been turned into replicas of what they would have looked during the civil war. The rest of the town is mostly crafts shops and restaurants. It was a wonderful day.

For all the frenchies reading this blog - this is real americana. Come visit me and I'll take you here.

One of the streets in town. Really there are only two so I guess this is 1/2 of downtown.

What more can I say?

Look at the leaves!

On our way to get the "custard" Harper's Ferry is famous for. I thought custard was like pudding but either I have it wrong it there's another definition for custard in W. Va. but there it's more like soft serve ice cream (much better the pudding in my book!).
