Washington DC

Monday, Val and Reed took me back to Union Station where I met with the rest of the Northwest United States CBYX group, fifty kids from Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Montana, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, Alaska and Hawaii. We only spent three days together, but everybody was really sweet and I made some really good friends. Besides orientation, we visited the senators and representatives from our areas to talk about the CBYX program, we toured the capital building, and visited the Smithsonians, (I went to the Natural History Museum which was really cool), visited the State Department to learn more about CBYX, visited some of the monuments, and I went to Chipotle for the first time. Then we flew to Frankfurt, where our group split up into our language camp groups, and fifteen of us headed off to Dusseldorf.
