... and every skill possible.  She was certainly a great cook, but she was even more so an entertainer.  The second thing would be the Barack Obama section.  Only two Presidents have their own section of the museum, Lincoln and Obama.  Obama mania is magnified beyond belief in this city to the point that I am almost sick of him, I'm obviously not, but still he's Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, Oprah, the Pope, and Jesus wrapped into one person.  He's ...

... we went to the Holocaust Memorial Museum. It is a moving memorial. The history of the holocaust really shows what happens when the leading nations of the world (the US and England) stand by and do nothing. The US and England had the opportunity in the 1930's to save EVERY Jew (during that era Hitler wanted them ...

... of the pandas gathered his meal and brought it to a clearing to lunch in front of us. He carefully peeled the bamboo shoot of its green outer layer to get down to the tasty woody parts. I imagined how great he would be at a bamboo chair eating contest. He was munching, grinding, and crunching away. The bamboo looked delicious. We also read up on the history of the pandas in DC and found out that there were many unsuccessful attempts before they finally succeeded in 2005. Their ...

... or so. Everything was as I remembered it (except there were a lot less sharks) but there was a new Australian exhibit. It was fairly interesting and I guess it justified the increased price tag of the ticket but I could have done without it. However, I should say that the most interesting thing that I saw was in that exhibit. It was the last area before the exit and was a bunch of triggerfish. What's cool about them is that they shoot a stream of water at an insect ...

... seeing as Tom writes a novel each blog) but I will say that I enjoyed Washington. It had been a long time since I visited with my family but obviously the main attractions are much the same. I think I appreciated it all more this time but I do remember things being bigger (I guess you have to expect that between a 5 year old and a 23 year old's perspective). I was really impressed with the holocaust museum the exhibits that they had were unlike ...

Happy Thanksgiving to those Americans at heart.... Spent Thanksgiving at Poncos Mountain - 1.5 hours drive from Philadelphia with Mike Canfield and his family. I had a wonderful time and sure enough a feast was to be found! First time I have tried pumpkin pie and pumpkin cake and am all pumpkin out. The highlight of my day was feeding the local deers apples. They are not afraid of people and are quite happy to come close to say hello.

... with former House Majority Leader Tom Delay) in the Thomas "Tip" O'Neill "Big Dig" Tunnel. As noted before, it is a spectacular sight coming up onto the Zakim Bridge. The blue lights and bright suspension wires creates a major work of art and makes the passing over the rusting Mystic River Bridge a boring event. We arrived home at 8:45pm tired, but full of fresh new memories. Like our return from the Newfoundland trip, we needed time to reflect. Nantucket has a way of ...

... family did it's very best to introduce the girls to real American food, family parties, and the American love for foreign food. They particularly enjoyed the Mexican food my family is such a big fan of. Another aspect of the exchange that was quite amusing, was the fact that the French exchange students were in the high school at the same time as our spanish students. The clash between the two groups was extremely hilarious. On ...
