We heard from him last night and again this morning at 5:45am our time. He is having a great time and sounds super tired. He said they have walked over 17 miles in 2 days. He forgot his camera at the hotel today, but T said she would share hers with him. The Holocaust Mus. made a real impression on him. They don't study that part of history until high school. The social studies teacher came over and did a 45min presentation a couple of weeks ago. It left us parents in tears and the students speechless. She made the kids understand what would have happened to their families had we been Jews in Germany at that time. She also gave the kids great pride in our country and our roles in WWII.
What are they doing today? Well, I will tell you. Ford's Theater, Petersen House, Embassy Row, National Cathedral, National Archives, Smithsonian, Natural History Mus., Air & Space Mus., they have dinner then off to Philadelphia. Nice easy day. lol
