Hi everyone what's up?? So Friday was our last day of the trip, and I must say I'm extremely sad :(( however, yesterday was an amazing day in D.C. 

We had breakfast from 7:00 to 8:00 at the hotel, and I was really tired at that time, but it was necessary to have energy for the day.  Then, we left the hotel and we went to the Capitol; one of the most amazing buildings I have ever seen, however we didn't get in, we just saw it from outside and took tons of pictures. 
Then we went to the Library of Congress, that was my favorite place in D.C,  it is an incredible building with a lot of culture, and the most important books of the world, it is really beautiful and is a "must visit" in D.C
After that we walked to the Supreme Court of justice, one of the most important buildings in D.C, but we couldn't see it really well because it was under construction.

After that we went to the most important place in the USA: the White House!! The security there was crazy, for all the things that happened in Boston, but we could have a really nice view of it, just like on T.V, and we also took a lot of pictures there.

Then we went to have lunch at union station,  we just had an hour there, but it is a really beautiful building, just like central station in New York, but a little smaller. After lunch we went to probably the most famous museums in the world, The Smithsonian’s.  The Smithsonian’s are 9 different museums located in an open space called the mall, and they have everything in there. I just went to the air and space one, and natural history, but they were seriously amazing, I just wished I wasn't that tired so I could have visited more museums and also I wish we have had some more time.

Then we went to Georgetown to go shopping for a little bit, but to be honest I didn't go shopping, I just sat in a Starbucks to have a break because I was really tired. After that we went to have dinner in a really American restaurant called "Old Glory." That's when we all started realizing that we just had a little time NEW YORK!! So that was kind of sad.

The bus ride back to the hotel was really fun, it was a party bus, and we were all dancing and singing. I still think we needed a real party at the hotel, but the bus party was fun anyway. When we arrived at the hotel we all hanged out in the lobby, and we signed some flags and t- shirts. That was really sad because it was the last time we were going to see each other in this trip.

In conclusion, not just yesterday, but the whole trip was amazing. I met amazing persons and had one of the best weeks of my life. I will always remember it. I wanna thank everybody from Belo USA, and all the people that were in this trip for being such nice persons. I will always keep you in my heart and now I know I'll travel all around the world and visit you guys.

Los amo!! (I love you all!)
