It was our last today of the tour. Well, I can finally go home, that was the best thing ever. After ten days of visiting historical places, I experienced how local people interacted with culture. It was really nice to see all the places were saved and protected carefully by the government and people. For me, this tour had a huge impact on my understanding of history, people, and myself. I learned lots of stuff from Ellis Island Museum, as an immigrant, hundr...

Gosh I am so excited today. Busch Gardens! I have never been on a roller coaster before and I can't wait to try it! But before we go to Busch Gardens, we have to visit Williamsburg. Our first stop in Williamsburg was visiting the Old Governor Palace. When I stepped into the palace, the first thing I noticed was the ceiling.

Also, I can see lots of helicopters flying in the sky around the Capital. Our first stop is Dr. Ma...

It was our first day to meet the new tour director Sasa. She is going to be our tour director for the rest of the trip. After eating breakfast, we started introducing ourselves to Sasa. She looks like a great tour director and leader for me, the one who listens what other people's ideas and thoughts. Anyway, our first stop for the day was Arlington Cemetery. Where the soldiers who sacrificed or died for the country were buried in this Cemete...
