Day in D.C.

Our trip to Washington D.C. yesterday was a lot of fun. From the bus ride there to the bus ride home, I enjoyed myself. The Folger's Theatre was beautiful. I learned a lot there as well. I did not know much about The Tempest by William Shakespeare. I also learned some good ways to understand his plays more. For example, looking for clues in the next few lines and paraphrasing. The actors and actress were great. My favorite part was the beginning, when they were acting out the different scenes from many different plays. The groups around us were a little obnoxious, but the actors managed. After the performance, we walked to Union Station. When we walked in the only thing I could do was to look up. I had never been into Union Station before yesterday and it was quite an experiment. Lunch was fun because we ordered pizza from a man with a very heavy Italian accent. He was trying to get food for everyone and we did not even know what we wanted. Once we eventually found a seat, we looked at what everyone order: 2 slices of cheese pizza and a soda. The weird thing was that we all received a different amount of change. We also did not have napkins. So, my friend went looking for napkins and asked a woman serving Indian food and she said that it cost money for the napkins. We all had a lot of laughs and a great time. We learned many great things about Shakespeare and bonded as friends!
