This is going to be a quick update on what ive been doing. I havent had internet access again, which is quite painful!
After Orlando we went to the Kennedy Space Centre. It was interesting seeing NASA. We got to see people building the new international space station, parts of older ships, and we got to go into a flight simulator, so we could feel what it would be like to go up into space!!
Then we drove onto St Augustine. This city is old, and very beautiful Its quite small but has a lot of history. We did a walking tour of the city at night. Its the most haunted city in America. It was actually pretty creepy. Later on the night, myself and a few of my friends were walking past the cemetery, and on all the graves there were little american flags. It was a completely still night, but one flag was waving really hard. There was no fan or anything, it was just there waving....
Savannah = most beautiful city in America! Ive probably said that about a lot of places, but Savannah is kinda a mix of spanish/french architecture which i really love. Savannah has a lot of small parks. Theres about 24 of them that are about 300 years old. This city is well known for the film "forest gump". This is where it was filmed. (I took a picture of where he sits on the park bench re telling his story).
Wow, where do i START with washington DC! Soooo much history here. I saw all the obvious landmarks of course, like the whitehouse, all the monuments, both of ex presidents, and war memorials. I saw the capitol building, and lots and lots of museums! i think i went to about five different ones. I also got to see the original american constitution, and the declaration of independance, and the bill of rights. Other crazy stuff happened in Washington, but i'll explain that in person.
Of course....NEW YORK! I still havent seen everything i wanted to see in New York. I have done a lot of the touristy things like Times Square, Empire State building, Statue of Liberty, Rode on the subway, Walked down 5th Ave, Saw a mets game!...But i need more time! I wanted to see a Broadway show, go to ground Zero, do some outlet shopping...Argh, New york is somewhere i have to come back to!
That my update for now. Im having a lot of issues with flights (missed some, trying to rebook, being on standby) so im not actually going to be home at the time i thought. I should be back in a week. Email me if you would like details!
Again, pictures soon. Ive taken thousands of pictures, and ive also got pictures that other people took so i have to sort through them all.
