The second day in Washington!



Today I got up at 9.oo 0’clock and after I had breakfast in the hotel. In the morning I went to Arlington National Cemetery, a cemetery where are buried military of the American civil war and the war in Iraq. More than 290,000 people are buried in an area of 624 acres (2.53 km2). Veterans and military casualties from every one of the nation's wars are interred in the cemetery, from the American Revolution through the military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq. Pre-Civil War dead were reinterred after 1900. There’s also the tomb of the president John F. Kennedy, his wife and his two sons. There ‘s also the eternal flame, flame in memory of John F. Kennedy that never put out.
At 12.00 Oclock I left the cemetery and I went to Tabard Inn Restaurant, an American restaurant. At 14.00 o’clock I went to Founded in 1751, the city of Georgetown substantially predated the establishment of the city of Washington and the District of Columbia. Georgetown retained its separate municipal status until 1871, when it was assimilated into the city of Washington. Today, the primary commercial corridors of Georgetown are M Street and Wisconsin Avenue, which contain high-end shops, bars, and restaurants. Georgetown is home to the main campus of Georgetown University and the Old Stone House, the oldest standing building in Washington. In the afternoon I visited the National Archives, where there is the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. I was very excited because I studied that in History and because it is very important for the America. After I went to the Hotel and I had dinner.
