Visiting Washington, DC

 Today we had an amazing day because we went to visit Washington DC, the astonishing capital of The United States of America.

 At first, we met at Good Counsel and we were so happy because some of the American girls; Maddie, Marie and Maggie came with us today, so we have improved our English. Then, we caught a school bus in the high school and after that we took the metro to the centre of the city.

When we arrived at the city we went to the National Mall of Washington. We decided to go to two important museums of the Smithsonian Institution and at first, we went to the National Air and Space Museum. It was fantastic and we could see a lot of spacing artifacts and all of their history. The five most important things in this museum are the touchable Moon Rock, the Apolo II Command Module Columbia, the Skylab Orbital Workshop, the Apollo Lunar Module, the Boeing 747 Nose and ,for kids, a gallery called How Things Fly. We took a lot of pictures and we had a good time there.
After that, we went to the National museum of Natural History and we were so excited because it is the museum from the movie " A night at the museum 2". We liked it so much because there were a lot of galleries and different animals to see. We also saw the Hope Diamond, it was so pretty and flashy.
After visiting both museums we ate our bag lunches and some people bought fries because they were more hungry.

To finish the trip, we went to the Washington  Monument that is so tall and awesome. We saw the Lincoln monument and the White house but from far away because we did not have enough time to see the rest of the monuments like Martin Luther King, Jefferson, etc. We returned to the high school and we met our exchange student.
In the afternoon everybody did their extracurricular activities. Lizzy ( my exchange student ) and I went home, we walked around her neighborhood and she showed me her Elementary school and her swimming pool. Then, we came back to the house and we made pizzas for dinner. That was so funny because our pizzas were deformed!
This experience is incredible and we are so lucky to be here, we're having a good time and we don't want the trip to end.
