Embarrrassing

 


Michelle - Washington

 Hello dear readers. Fineally we have landed her in USA. Last night we settled at a hotel here in Washington. We was very tired so we went to bed the first we did. The hotel is called Crowne Plaza Hamilton and I like it very mutch. It is located in central Washington. Now we have slept here one night. Since we are going to go around and explore USA we won't be at the hotel so much. This morning we ate a lovely breakfast which consisted of toasts, beans, egg, mushrooms bacon and so on. But then we decided to start our long journey. Rasmus and Daniella went to New York and Los Angeles but I wanted to stay here in Washington. There are many things to visit here too så I don¨t need to go far away. Let me tell about my day in Washington:
 
First, I read in some newspaper to learn some basic information about the city. Washington has about 600 000 inhabitantes. They have rather cold winters but even long and hot summers. In washington there is a lot of buildings and my favorit is "The white House" so I visited this house today. When the house was built, George Washington were the country's president. It was in december 1790. After his dead a new president called John Adams moved in to The White House 1800. So it's a house for presidents. 
 
But 1814, it was war and the building was almost completely destroyed by fire. Only the walls outside was reamaining after the fire. Then the house rebuilded. And now, USA's president Barack Obama lives there. 
 
 
Because I like to read books I visited USA's national library here in Washington. It's called Library of Congress. This building is very big and really not like a basic school library in Frändefors. It's not just USA's biggest library, it's even the most famous library in the whole world. There you can find everything you want. There was I own room to read in and it looked like a castle. Although the library had a lot of visitors I didn't feel crowded. The house was very airy and had a pleasant temperature. The perfect conditions for a nice read. I borrowed two books about supernatural creatures which I think it is very fascinating.
 
Then I was tempted to watch a concert in a concert hall. So I choosed to go to a concert hall named The Shakespeare theatre. The seats was crowded but I managed to have a seat. I really don't regret it because the performance was fantastic. I will never forget this moment when I sat there and it felt like I attended in the show. It was a unforgettable experience.

I think this day passed too fast.But it's a sign that I have very fun here in USA. To travel around in a new country is incredible exciting and learning experience. When staying at a single place there are so much you can not see. The world is very big and looks different in all places. So if you think you know a lot about how things work you're wrong. It's impossible to know all the world's cultures and life. This is a perfect opportunity for me to increase my knowledge of the USA. Now I'm sitting and relax in a sofa at a hotel. I'm waiting for Daniella and Rasmus who stll are in their city. Tomorrow we will meet each other again. I think we will visit a cafe. But now I am going to keep relax and drink somthing while I read som newpapers. 
Bye Bye!
