Our second day consisted of site-seeing the historic monuments around Washington D.C. As shown in the picture, we walked beside the blooming cherry blossoms and enjoyed views such as the Washington Monument and also the Lincoln Memorial. We learned so much about historic events that to this day affect the world. For example, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum promoted to always "ask why". Curiosity is a significant factor toward success and even more so when seeking improvement. That way we remove the negative factors that detained us from being successful in the first place. The holocaust museum also shed light toward Syria's current state of events for awareness. As I became further informed of the events, I was reminded of how lucky many of us are for our freedom, peace, and rights.
Throughout the day we also stepped out of our comfort zones by trying different types of food than what we are used to. Our first food stop was at a Middle Eastern food truck where I had the lamb gyro; one of the best meals ever! By the time we decided for dinner, we ordered authentic asian food which was a very pleasant meal as well. It is safe to say we are taking advantage of the delicious food in the city!
