DAY 2- THURSDAY 22.11.2007

(ENGL) Even though we wanted to get up early in the morning, we simply couldn't as we were partying the night before ;) Thursday, also Thanksgiving day, was our sightseeing day. The streets in Washington D.C. were dead! The only one's that were on the street were us girls and the homeless people. However, as soon as we got to the sightseeing area, there were also other tourists. We visited the Washington Monument, the National World War II Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial and the White House of course. We were very lucky with the weather! It was supposed to rain this day, but a very strong wind started blowing, just as we came to the White House- was that a sign ;) Later we went back to the hostel where we had our Thanksgiving turkey, which was organized by the hostel. It was a lot of fun. Afterwards we went partying again ;)

(D) Obwohl wir früh raus wollten um uns alles in aller Ruhe anzusehen, haben wir es natürlich nicht geschafft, da wir ja am Vorabend Party gemacht haben. Donnerstag, auch Thanksgiving Tag, war unser Besichtigungstag. Die Straßen von Washington D.C. waren wie ausgestorben! Die Einzigen die man anfinden konnte waren wir Mädels und die Obdachlosen. Doch, als wir zu den Touristenattraktionen kamen, waren schon mehr Leute aka Touristen, anzufinden. Wir sahen das Washington Monument, das National World War II Memorial, das Korean War Veterans Memorial, das Vietnam Veterans Memorial, das Lincoln Memorial und natürlich das Weiße Haus. Wir hatten ein Glück mit dem Wetter, da Regen vorhergesagt wurde, doch ein starker Wind fing erst an zu blasen, als wir beim Weißen Haus ankamen- war das etwa ein Zeichen?! Später gingen wir ins Hostel wo wir unser Thanksgiving Essen genoßen, dass das Hostel organisiert hatte. War echt lustig! Am Abend gingen wir wieder mal a bisserl fort ;)

(HR) Iako smo se htjele rano ustati taj dan, nismo bas uspjele, posto smo tulumarile noc prije. Cetvrtak, Dan Zahvalnosti, je bio nas dan razgledavanja Washington-a. Ulice su bile prazne! Nikoga nigdje, osim nas cura i bezkucnih ljudi. No, cim smo dosle blizu znamenitosti, bilo je vec puno vise ljudi, ili bolje receno, vise turista ;) Vidjele smo Washington Monument, National World War II Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial, Veitnam Veterans Memorial, Lincoln Memorial i naravno Bijelu kucu. Imale smo srecu sa vremenom, posto je trebala padati kisa, ali vrijeme se je tek pogorsalo kad smo dosli do Bijele kuce- jel je to trebao biti nekakav znak ;) Poslije smo se vratile u hostel gdje smo uzivale u "Thanksgiving dinner-u" koji je bio organiziran od hostela. Bas je bilo super zabavno! Na vecer smo naravno otisle van tulumariti!!!
