Today was our first day in Washington D.C, and it was so nice that we changed the name to Awesome D.C.
We woke up very early in the morning and we went to see the Lincoln memorial, the first impression was that we were in a movie and everyone first impression was WOW! We took a lot of pictures and we appreciate the view and the scenario for a couple of minutes but because we had a lot of things to see we couldn’t stay longer with our friend Abraham (You can visit him, he is there 24 hours).
Then we took the bus to the largest Basilica in the U.S; we had a tour there and they explain to us different things about the multicultural influence in the catholic church.
After lunch we went to visit Obama in the white house, because he was jealous that we visited Abraham Lincoln ( we didn’t really see Obama, but we saw the white house, LOL). In the afternoon we visited a lot of memorials and we walked A LOT, we saw Jefferson Memorial, Martin Luther King memorial, WWI and WWII memorials, and Korea war memorial; There I had the opportunity to meet someone from Argentina and talk for a while with them.
At the end of the day we went to Arlington National Cemetery, and it was really impressive to see how many people died fighting for their country. We saw where all the Kennedy family was buried, including the assassinated president John Fitzgerald Kennedy; We could also get really good views of Awesome D.C from the top of the cemetery and take pictures with our friends. Something really special was the change of guard of the unknown soldier, which represents all the soldiers that died in war and they couldn’t be identified.
It was a really good day, we enjoyed a lot and we are looking forward for tomorrow unless the fact that we have to wake up very early.
