Days 152-154+The Weekend: DC

Day 152:

That right there my friends, is Abraham Lincoln. you should thank him, and feel intimated. This was my first day in DC. I had a massive headache and then food made it better. I wish I could just upload my mental pictures of the place, of DC. I went to Arlington Cemetery. I saw where the Kennedys are buried. I saw a lot of headstones. A lot of funerals, 3 to be exact. It turns out that there are 21 funerals a day.

Saturday:

Today I had a concert at the WWII memorial. The beauty of the memorial, of every memorial really. There are two arches one engraved with the word PACIFIC and the other ATLANTIC. There is a wall between the arches that have stars and each star represents every 1000 deaths. Needless to say, there are a lot of stars. Connecting each arch are pillars that say each state and nations in out protectorate. Then I went to the American History Museum. I saw guns and artifacts of our nations war history.

Sunday:

That is the wall, yes, part of the Berlin Wall.

Day 153:

The Korean War Memorial. I visited all of the wars memorials. Then I went to the Air & Space Museum. I rode in a flight simulator. I was the gunner and my friend Ean was the pilot.

Day 154:

I PLAYED THE KENNEDY CENTER. LIFE IS WONDERFUL
Also that, my dear friends, is the man who made it all possible: John C. Abigana, my band teacher.
