it was a very beautiful day on saturday in Washington D.C, I started the day with pancakes, bacon and berry sauce for breakfast, the meyer family was supposed to take kids to basketball today but due to the kids injury - they are not playing today so Tanya, Greg, their daughter Allison and I went to the mall, went for a walk around checking out museums, we checked out the American history museum which was interesting, (photos not allowed) Since 9/11 the high security has been an proirty in every museum to ensure everyone's in safe hands, it was different back in 1999.

We also checked out the ice rink as well. Then we all went over to the washington Momument, which was under construction in '99 - where I finally made it there today, and it is so tall, which you could tell by the photo. Then we went to the small scultpure garden on the way to air and space museum, some old things remain there but some new additions has been sought, still interesting. WHen Tanya and Allison had to go home, Greg and I went for a walk in the nearby neighbourhood, which is a new area with beautiful buildings which are new ones - no wonder I like the american style buildings especially the american style built homes - I see it everywhere and everyone has massive houses, not one small houses in sight, like we see these days in Australia -- ohhh of course, just here and there, like my friend Denis = who I met up at the hockey game with the family lives in a nice apartment.

Me and my friend Denis along with the family went to watch the Caps vs The Phoniex team at the verion center - it was awesome game, but soo loud where all these cheering screams echoes across the staduim, where the vibration was felt.

Denis and I went to Maryland, which a party was hosted but unfortunately wasn't a good one, so we left apparently, and had dinner at a nearby diner, it was nice and then we both went home to Denis's place and watched amovie instead - which is defiance, wasn't finished - slept at 2am, and woke up late, we had early lunch at a localized mexican resturant - chipotle - it was nice.

We both went to the new museum called NEWSEUM which was established in 2007 - it was insteresting especially the 9/11 exbihit which was very sad and moving, I saw the antenna piece which is very badly damaged is displayed there - wow.


Then i was dropped to the nearby metro where i caught the metro back home to the meyer residence, i got ready and then we all family had dinner at the noll residence it was very nice and then I gave them the presents, which from the clarke family and I has gotten, they loved it.

There is plenty of photos, but they will be uploaded on facebook on my return to Australia so be patient - only 5 pictures per blog is permitted.

Tomorrow, paying a visit to the Gallaudet University - the only liberal arts deaf university in the United States of America.
