My time in Washington is going great. The workshops and seminars are so informative. We had originally formed two groups. Four in one and four in the other. On this day, we have all joined together as one group to engage in the seminars and workshops.
This day, by far, has been the best day of the trip so far. We have come together as one group, gathered plenty of free items from exhibits, and we went to dinner in Chinatown with our instructors. It was a wonderful dinner. A friend of one of our instructors, Doug, ordered for us. One thing he ordered, and I still can't believe I ate, was chicken feet. It was actually good.
Once dinner was over, Doug offered to take us around the city to see the sights. He had told us at dinner that he used to live in DC. So we all loaded up in two vehicles and off we went. Our first stop was the Lincoln Memorial. This place was so awe inspiring.
Our next stop was the Vietnam Memorial Wall. This wall means so much to so many. The names of the soldiers who gave their lives for our freedom. I wish I could have seen it during the daytime to get a better view of the memorial. We also stopped to reflect on the Korean War Memorial before heading back to our vehicles.
On our way back to our hotel we did not stop but saw the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, and passed by the White House. What an awesome end to Day 3 in Washington.
