We woke up and left the formula one, ugg-don’t stay there and went to Parliament. On our way, I guess you could say, we drove through Parliament Alley-We saw the outside of a lot of embassies.—the one that called to me the most of course was Brazil and the good ‘ole USA embassies. The US embassy is the largest one in Aussie. We went to the Science museum for like 2 hours.—then off to Parliament. The roof was very unique. It had huge flagpole in the middle. We sat in on the House of Representatives and saw Prime Minister Howard-fun, fun, fun. Howard could never answer a question. After that we went to the Australian War Memorial-where they commemorated all of their fallen soldiers from all of the wars they have been involved with. Ya know, every war that USA has been involved Aussie has without a doubt jumped right in. They have been in every war that the US has been in. They are one of our number one supporters. The planes were cool—However, the tomb of the unknown soldier was the best. They played a ceremony and closed the tomb at 5 o’clock with a bagpipe.
A)The parliament showed me the Aussie view of politics—super crazy! The Memorial showed me their spirit and pride in their country; especially for those who died for it.
B)It gave me a new appreciation for the military.
C)Reminded me of all our memorials in the states.
D)very cool!
