I had a lot of fun on this trip, our tour guide was like an American History encyclopedia and I thought that was pretty cool because she could basically answer any question we had about any event and she answered without any doubt.

Man I thought I was excited that Obama had won this election but when I actually got to the National Mall I was just speechless (maybe from the cold, or just in awe) that I had the chance to be part of such an significant time in world history so right there and then I looked up an thanked my mum for the trip ☺. The most excited part was when he got sworn in because it was made official then; he was going to be our first African American president (100 steps forward) and I was standing in the same city as he was while others were watching it on TV. His family looked really nice and it was great that people showed them support, twas a good way to start off our way to change…Today we went to the Lincoln memorial and stood on the same exact spot that Martin Luther King Jr stood in when he gave his “I have a dream” speech, that was just as amazing because it seemed like it was lifetime ago and it is definitely going to be engraved into my brain for the next 6000 years and im glad our country got some sense knocked into it. And the tourists who flew over from every continent just made it even better. It is definitely gonnabe something I will brag about to my children and grandchildren someday when they get ornery..…..Rashida
