The Trekkers, cont

(Ajay, top left; Phil, top right; Jen, below left; Jeremiah, below right)

I finally met Jen and Jeremiah when we met at Spices (Cleveland Park) on Dec 12. Photos were taken with my camera phone, as Jeremiah needed a passportsized photo for his VISA application. Jeremiah it turns out has found his way to post-Katrina New Orleans where he is spending time trying to re-establish a justice system in city that sounds like it has returned to the wild west of mid 19th century America at times. He and Ajay have apparently grown up together in Chicago, undergrad, and shared a brownstone when Ajay was in DC last year. Jen fights injustice right here in the capitol city. She met Ajay at an airport, of all places, and they have been spending whatever time together that they can find in their busy schedules.
