We went to the Lincoln memorial and some people made us join a rally and hold signs up. It was to let DC have a voice in the Senate and House. It was also to stop the war and all that stuff. Then we went to Jefferson. It was way smaller than the Lincoln memorial. We also saw the WWII Memorial. It was filled with people that held cardboard signs. We also saw the Korean War Memorial. It had big silver people that had guns and walkie talkies and those equipments. The black wall behind it had etchings of soldiers and workers. The WWI memorial was really small. It was a pedestal with a golden person on top of it and red flowers that looked like a big 1. It had names of all the people in the division that died. We also saw the White house. It had a lot of security on it. They also had wire mesh and concrete barriers. It was not as cool as before.

Sackler Gallery of asian art was another museum we visited. It had asian art in it. I saw weird Hindu people with a lot of arms and a lot of heads. I also saw thai pots and a whole bunch of other stuff. There was Ottoman vases.

The African Art Museum was cool for many ways. One was that it was one that we never visited before. Another way was because it had a 14 foot mask that weighed around 30 pounds. The last way was because it was connected to three other museums. I will start by saying how we chanced upon it. We were walking in the Smithsonian garden and then we just went into it. The first thing is security. They look at your bags and that stuff. Then you see this staircase curving downward and there is this pool at the bottom. There is also a mask that is stretched across two stories. On the top level there is not much. On the bottom, there is the sweetgrass baskets and those stuff. There also fancy gold and stone African chiefs or gods. A guide told us that you were supposed to wear the mask and dance around with it!
