Day 16 , 17 & 18 Washington DC
Met Li wei's friends, Song Yu and Yun Qing at the airport. They are both really close friends from their Hwa Chong days and regularly meet up around the world:) our hotel was really really nice, with the most cosiest and comfortable bed we have had on our trip so far. We spent majority of the 3 days here visiting all the landmarks, capital building, state library, Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson memorials as well As the smithsonian air and space, and natural history museums :) I can safely say that I really learnt alot about USA history, how their founding fathers united the different fractions and declared independence from the British and creating their own country, kinda makes me see the similarities of how our own Singapore is now following in their foot steps, our LKY and Thier Washington were both men of equal caliber and tenacity to have moulded and grow countries from scratch !! As for the exhibits at the museums , I'd let the pictures do the talking but I was really very very very happyto realize my childhood dream of seeing and touching fossils !!! That's another tick off my bucket list :) the most memorable picture would definitely be the one of the double rainbow forming across the sky above the Washington memorial :) it truly made our trip there really really special
