16th Day - Tuesday 22nd September by Sara Camí

Hi!
We are finishing our stay here in the United States and we are sad because we don't want to leave because we are enjoying this new experience and we don't want to finish it.

So today was a long day. In the morning I woke up at 6:20 like every day and I dressed up, cleaned my face and took my things for the day. At 6:55 I went to the kitchen. There Ally and her brother Jack were having their breakfast. At seven o'clock we left home and we went to the middle Flint Hill school to leave Jack and then Ally and I went to the upper school. When we arrived, it was so early and none of the other Spanish students were there, so I had to wait for them alone.

At 8:30 all the Spanish students took the school bus which brought us to the metro station as everyday we have an outing to DC. After fourteen subway stops we got off and we were in the heart of Washington DC.

First, we visited the Newseum which is an interactive museum of news and journalism. There we saw lots of things and we spent a good time with everybody and we took some funny photos. We also watched a 4Dimension movie which was  fantastic. After the visit in this museum we had lunch outside sat in some benches and then we went to the Indian Museum  and had a shorter visit because we didn't have much time if we wanted to do all we have at the schedule.

Later we went round Tidal Basin till Jefferson Memorial admiring the lines of cherry trees that were there. I liked a lot the landscape and I took some photos of all. To visit everything we had to walk around the whole huge lake called Tidal Basin.
I like the lake but we had to walk a lot and very fast so we hadn't much time to rest and admire the views.

While we were walking around the lake we also saw the Martin Luther King Memorial and the Rosvelt Delano Roosevelt Memorial.

At three o'clock we went to the metro and after fourteen stops we arrived at the metro station called Vienna where one bus of Flint Hill School brought us back to the high school.

I had to wait until six and then Ally brought Mariona to her house which is near our house and finally we arrived at house at 6:45. At 7:30 we had dinner (vegetables and meat) and now I'm very tired and I have a little headache.

I enjoyed a lot this new experience with great persons and I hope to repeat it next year and I hope you enjoy reading it like us living it!  See you soon!
