Sightseeing in Washington

We spent two days touring in Washington. Many sights passed just like a night of wonder except the monument of Vietnem war and the nati0nal Museum of Natural History. When walking down the wall-like monument inscribed with names of numerous soldiers who died or were missing in that cruel war, I can't helping reflecting on the history and meaning of life. Nobody would like to die in vain in the name of such abstract words as glory or bravery, be he or she a Chinese or American. All we long for and cherish is long-term peace and brotherhood in the whole world. That's also what the architect wanted to let us understand when we watch the reflection of our images in the mirror-like stone.
Now forget about the heavey history. Let me show you something amusing in the National Museum of Natural History. You just can't believe it: you may find your own ancestor who lived between 200,000 and 28,000 years ago. All you need do is just take a picture of your own with the computer and input the necessary information about yourself . Then you will be transformed into a Homo neanderthalensis, one of the closest relatives of modern humans. To be frank, very few of us feel satisfied with our apperance in the photo, because we all have a big nose and hairy head, which make us look like a stupid pig or monster. Oh, there is one exception. Lilian should be voted "the No 1 beauty in the pre-history period" thanks to her big shining eyes.
Tomorrow we are heading for New York. Hope we can experience more exciting stories.
