The Amish Country was really cool. We learned that the Amish people coexist with the english (us) . You can tell which house is amish and which one isn't by seeing if they have green vynil shades. You can tell a person that is amish by seeing that they wear solid colored dresses with white bonnets and a white apron. When a girl is ready todate, she will wear a little black bonnet to chruch on sunday. If a boy offers to drive her home, then that means he's interested.

This is the glider that influenced the wright brothers to invent the airplane. Built by Otto Lilienthal, the hang glider had wings and tail surfaces covered with doped cotton cloth and a horizontal stabilizer connected to the frame by a picot at the front and the rudder. When the pilot moved his torso and legs, it would alter the gravity location and provided limited control.

This picture was at the ceremony at the tomb of the unknown soldier. They were switching guards and the schools got to lay the reeths. The kids that went up from our school were Gabby Bragg, Daniel Benam, Ben Hewitt, and Jessica Moats. It was very emotional. Even though I don't know anyone who died during war, it made me realize that so many people lost loved ones during this war.
