We just arrived at Union Station for breakfast. The Metro is really cool. There are 86 Metro stations in D.C. And 106 miles of track. 106/86 = 1.2 mile average between each station.

The metro station is a great way to get around a busy city like washington dc. It is very quick, cheap, and has many stops. It is very interesting to see how this works. There are 86 metro stations and 106 miles of track. So if you divide 106/86, you get an average of 1.2 miles per stop. Considering it takes no more than a minutefor each stop, the metro is very useful.

That this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away..."///Ibrahim

Lincoln Memorial (Henry)

The Lincoln Memorial commemorates president Lincoln, one of the best presidents in American history.  This monument was made to remember the fact that Lincoln won the Civil War, which ended slavery in the US. 

This is the korean memorial. It shows the soldiers walking through the battle field. It brings tears to my eyes to see these soldiers walking through, knowing what they had to do. This is a very tragic yet heroic monument. The grass symbolises the battle field and their faces the suspense they went through each day. Definetly my favorite monument so far///Ibrahim
