WASHINGTON

Now for the capital... Washington DC.
The first night all 41 on the tour on the bus went to dinner at a seafood restauraunt, on the water, the scollops and crabcakes high on the foods we have. (clothes tighter)... saw all the big buildings that the americans like to build.
The White house is smaller than expected but everything else is bigger, The war memorials..statues to the dead and the Arligton national Cemetery where JFK is buiried. Dying for their country is really glorified and we found creepy and everyoneseemed to be praised for someone dying for their country.
2 days in Washington was nearly 100 degrees F was a bit of a challenge, trying to see 1 or 2 things properly and lots things quickly. We did art museum, dinasaur show and national archives.... this building houses all the major documents written hundreds of hears ago...... Bill of Rights... Abolition od slavery..decalartion of Independence to name just afew.... Ice Ceams in the park between the White House and the Capitol Building ..just a few highlights.
The last night we all spent together so we had a dinner at the hotel and a few drinks ...a noisy and fun night... one one wanting to bring it to an end. But the thought of the early morning wake up eventually brought us to our senses... goodbye to Washington and on to NY via Philladelphia and the Liberty Bell and Rocky....
