Today was so fun! Our flight leaves tomorrow, so we spent today sightseeing inWashington DC. I don't think there is a cooler place to be for the 4th of July weekend. There is so much going on here. We started off the day at the Holocaust Museum, which was perfect because they have a huge exhibit on genocide. In about 24 hours, we will be touring the Rwandan genocide memorial, so we already have our minds and hearts open to the Rwandan people and the horrible events of 1994, from which they have come SO far! We will be able to witness first hand, the indescribable forgiveness and reconciliation going on still today! Anyways, after the Holocaust Museum, we split into a couple different groups because everyone wanted to see something different. We had people at the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial, Washington Monument, the White House, the Natural History Museum, the National Modern Art Museum, etc. etc. It was so fun to meet up for dinner and share where we had been during the day. During dinner at a great TexMex restaurant, we noticed that it had started raining really hard. The rain totally disrupted our plans to attend the huge4th of July concert dress rehearsal. Everyone was bummed, but we made the best of it, and had a great, talkative, and long bus ride back to the hotel to get ready for tomorrow! There are fireworks going off all over DC and we can see them outside our hotel!
