Trip to the National Zoo, and tour of the monuments. =)

Alrighty then, today was my first full day in the Environmental Youth Summit located at George Mason University, Virginia. Had a pretty good sleep and woke up at 7:30, then went to go eat an extraordinary breakfast in la cafe. We left for the National Zoo at about 10:00 and listened to a welcoming speech. After the speech we all got to search for a good place to munch on some lunch, which was indeed delicious. After ze lunch we all had a meeting with some of the zoo keepers, which was intreresting. Ok I'm typing quite a lot and it's late so I'm going to dim this down a bit. At 4:00 we got to just walk around and explore the zoo, which was fantastic, way to go National Zoo, and that lasted around 2 hours. We ate dinner and then left for the tour of my century. We first went to the washington monument, then to the lincoln memorial, then to the vietnam memorial, for those of you who don't know that's the big black wall with all of the names on it, quite interesting. And that's about all I did, in a bit of a summed up version. Thanks for reading =]

  1. Hello Matt,
    Thanks for writing! Many are interested in your daily activities and how you feel about them.Were you to meet Kevin at the Zoo? Do you have roommates? How many students are participating? Did they really keep you up to 10:30 on your first night? I would have thought that as impossible. We love you, Battoo.
