These are the photos I promised.  We watched the Memorial Day procession on CNN and went to Arlington Cemetery.  The metro was packed with all the people leaving the cemetery after the President had left.

This is the Tomb of the Unknowns:

This is the Women’s Memorial:

This is the 101st Airborne Division on Memorial Drive:

Yesterday, we watched the play “Pericles.” It was put on by the Shakespeare Theatre Company at the Carter Barron Amphitheatre in Rock Creek Park.  It was excellent.  I believe this was the last weekend, so I was extremely glad to go (plus it was free!).

Now I have to start getting ready for my second week.  I have to type up my weekly journal and submit my Learning Objectives Statement, both due tomorrow, and I have to organize my evening research class’s idea for my paper.  Since I will be working on a $35 million Mass Transit Project which deals with the metro and bus system, I have chosen to write my paper on the metro system.  It is extremely interesting, and I hope to learn more about it.  I am presenting my idea on Wednesday and naming my audience, what they will learn, and why my research is important.  So as usual, I have a lot of work to do!

There were lots of free shows at the Carter Barron Amphitheatre sponsored by the Shakespeare Theatre Company last year. There are two possibilities: I was lucky and been there on the right place on the right moment or you weren’t so lucky.
