California Knows How to Party

January 17, 2009

Georgetown University. Healy Hall. Named after the first black president of the university.

Today the temperature was in the teens. We had to walk to Georgetown University. I'm guessing it was about a 5 block walk. Georgetown was built in the 1800s. And still furnishes what we call ancient monuments and buildings. Are tour guide was a sophomore at the university. Rachel took time out of her day, let me remind you it's a Saturday. We saw one of the ancient buildings Healy Hall, this famous building was named after Pactric Healy, he was the first black president of the university.

On the metro bus we couldn't help but notice the hundreds of D.C. citizens with Obama t-shirts. Later on: we got off of the metro, walked a block to find out that our reservations were sold since we showed up late to tour the Capital. Okay so anyway, I got to see the Capitol building. For clarity, it is located next to the Library of Congress. So no one will mistake it for the White House (Bria). On the other side of the Capitol building we took pictures next to where Obama will be giving his speech and be sworn in Tuesday. You know it takes a real leader to stand in front of 250,000 people in chairs and three million more on the mall. He will reassure them all that they made the right decision.
At the Air and Space Museum I learned that it takes 5 million dollars to get the material to make a space suit. Astronauts carry two bags with them. One connects to the suit as it carries the water supply, the other doesn't connect, it’s known as a jet pack. Every space station has a leader who connects to the outside world. And tells of their condition.
Finally, I also learned that an African American Women (a registered nurse), purchased the first air craft for the Challenger Air planes Association.
