Washington DC

Ok so after the illumination tour, the next day we walked around DC, the first place we visited was the White House.We walked around it and had ice cream, then we uploaded some pictures to my memory stick in this posh hotel because I had run out of space on my camera, walked down the street a few more blocks and stopped off at the house where abraham lincoln died and it just so happened to be on my birthday (he got shot across the street in the Ford Theatre in the back left side of his head).We then went to the International Spy Museum

which was $15 to get in but it was sooo kool, well worth it, came out an hour or so later on and had lunch in the museums diner, (apparently their are teh most spys in Washington DC than anywhere else in teh world).

We then walked to teh National Archives and saw one of the first 14 declarations of independance (john hancock has teh largest signature on it) and the original copper plate that was used to copy it.Also saw the constitution, the bill of rights, the emancipation of proclaimation and teh original log of the apollo 8 space mission we then moved on further to the capitol where lots of people ride segways. its wierd! we chilled out on the lawn of the capitol in the hot sun and then later on walked round the back to the supreme court of justice.

Yet again moving on further we walked down the mall (on forest gump where he gives the speach, and martin luther king). Headed towards teh national space museum but it was closed :-( so we carried on up to the washington monument and headed for the national history museum. Its cool they have giant animals and stuff with loads of info, the dinosaur part is sick!Finally we went for some food in the ESPN restaraunt (if you dont know what that is its the worlds biggest sports channel, most popular in the states.This had a 2 hour wait for food because the Yankees vs Redsox game was on soon, so we went to macdonalds and had the best Maccy D's ive ever had!

Came back to camp, swam in the pool for a bit and then slept.

Keep me posted guys, I still got lots to write about, sorry the last few blogs wernt written in order.
