Travel Journal: Washington/New York 2018: Day 3
Hello again, sorry this is a bit late. Last night was pretty hectic, and I just fell asleep as soon as we got back to the room. Our last stop in Washington yesterday was to the Capitol building, which was pretty cool. We went on a tour, looking at the crypt that doesn't have Washington's body in it and the room where state funerals are held (Rosa Parks is the only woman to ever have had a state funeral). Interesting fact: out of 100 statues, only 9 are of women. Anyway. Then we had lunch- our little group went to Pret a Manger, and had vegetables and fruit and basically felt very healthy. New York was next, so after a long coach journey, we arrived in the city that never sleeps. Let me tell you this: New York is insane. I cannot actually believe that it's a real place. There are lights and colours and noises and people everywhere. It's so different to Washington (and I definitely prefer Washington). Where we are staying is...interest...
