Washington DC



Ok a bit delayed but here it is. Washington DC. First day was a look at all the monuments statues and all that jazz. The weather was a bit poo, some kind of constant drizzle but not rain. Had a look around the air and space museum which was quite interesting due to all of the space craft and things from the Apollo missions. Then to the Native American museum. I ended up buying some good shoes. Some Salomon Gortex ones like Neils. Super comfy and nice and dry. That night we had dinner at a collage sports bar, cheap beers and cheep burgers. We also went for a game of "bowling" but with "duck pins" which are really small and tiny balls with no finger holes! Kinda strange and harder than normal bowling

Day 2 we tried to go to Arlington Cemetery but the weather again wasn't on our side neither was the pentagon by being in our way. So more rain everyone decided to head back but Neil and i had a walk through the cemetery and then to the Iwojima memorial. It turned out to be worth all the dampness as it was huge!! We also did a quiz night but having basically no knollage of USA we didn't win, but we didn't lose!
