On the 13th of September I participated in (and I do not believe it had an official name, unless I'm mistaken. But I'll call it...) "The University of Virginia's ISI sponsored trip to Washington D.C."
 
I, and 48 other international students, basically toured DC. We went down Pennsylvania Ave and took pictures and learned a lot about DC's world-renowned monuments around that area. It was great fun!
 
The most exciting aspect of the whole trip, I have to say, (notwithstanding the flight up Washington monument) was walking down the Korean War Veterans Memorial and meeting actual WWII Vets. I met one who actually shared an anecdote from The War.
