Rachana's DC Internship Blog: March 2011. Tuesday, March 8, 2011. You will know them by their fruit. I kissed my grandmother one last time. From as far as I can remember, whenever we said goodbye it was with a peck on the forehead and the obligatory Khmer farewell address of "chum reap lear". As if in prayer, we pressed our palms together and bowed slightly to show our respect to those older than ourselves. At her funeral a week ago, I worked up the courage to do the same and wish her farewell. In the tr...

Rachana's DC Internship Blog: October 2010. Wednesday, October 27, 2010. But in your mercy remember me because of your goodness. Yikes, it's already October 27th! The Brooks Flats staff went star-gazing out by Lake Waco and cooked up delicious s'mores:. I've also been trying my own hand at cooking, particularly Mexican food:. Chile Rellenos, Halibut atop a green bean stir fry with Jasmine Rice, Migas, and Menudo.). Stock up on groceries, buy a few cookbooks, experiment a bit, and voila! Could this also b...

Rachana's DC Internship Blog: August 2011. Monday, August 22, 2011. And so we went to Rome. And so we (finally) arrived! It is about time that I share our trip to Rome, right? I've been spending the past two weeks or so settling into my new apartment in Minneapolis, MN. I figured that I should finally put up the Rome post before I start law school (orientation) tomorrow. But more about that later! It wasn't soon after my baggage was on the floor that I was practically dragging my family out the door to w...

Rachana's DC Internship Blog: May 2011. Friday, May 27, 2011. We are an Easter people and alleluia is our song! We are an Easter people and alleluia is our song! St Augustine, 4th century. Correction [5.27.11, 6:04pm]:. It's actually St. Augustine of Canterbury's Feast Day on the 27th - not St. Augustine of Hippo. Both saints but different locations and centuries. I just realized this after the post. *Most* of it should make sense though! Why did he say this? Since that very first Easter morning when the...

Rachana's DC Internship Blog: July 2011. Monday, July 25, 2011. Neapolis - (Pompeii, Mt. Vesuvius). I apologize for taking so long to get this post up. When I think about my procrastination during the summer I laugh because I know I should be blogging more. With the rise of Rome, further to the north, Neapolis and other Greek colonies in Italy were eventually conquered, with the former firmly under Roman rule by the 4th century. (Ironic isn't it? The Greeks were a stubborn bunch though and never were com...

For their "Voir Dire Visitation Day". We'll get to spend the entire weekend in sunny 70 degree southwest Florida. Pictures from the Ave Maria site.). It's not that I have not been think...

Rachana's DC Internship Blog: April 2011. Saturday, April 23, 2011. We know that all creation is groaning in labor pains until now. But it is not Easter - yet. We, like the first Apostles, are still awaiting the news of the Resurrection. Imagine them two thousand years ago: scared, heartbroken, and scattered after the scandal of Good Friday. " All of you will have your faith shaken, for it is written: 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be dispersed. We are in those "days before". There is so...

Rachana's DC Internship Blog: February 2010. Saturday, February 27, 2010. I've only seen snow a couple of times in my life. In fact, I can probably count that number on one hand. We don't often get snow in Texas, at least not in Houston where I'm from. But lo and behold, some of the guys knocked on my door Tuesday morning and were yelling "Snow! I woke up and saw this outside my window:. Now isn't that something beautiful to wake up to? There was also no RCIA so I just pretty much chilled the rest of Tue...

Rachana's DC Internship Blog: June 2011. Saturday, June 25, 2011. Neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem. (Rhodes, Greece). Just left Rome this morning, it was amazing by the way! Here is Rhodes post.]. I am again indebted to our port guide and our tour guides for much of the following information.]. An island just a few miles off the southeastern coast of Turkey, Rhodes was first settled by the (Dorian) Greeks as they started colonizing the Mediterranean. The settlers established three major cit...
