THE PRINCESS IS HERE!!!! (PART 2)

Tuesday, June 9
I woke up at 5am to get ready and met everyone in the ballroom for breakfast at 6. We had an American-style breakfast, (meaning no spam or rice) there was eggs, bacon, fruits, bagels, pastries, juice, and milk. There was another choir there from Nebraska (or Florida) and we exchanged songs with them. We did our chant, and they did some African song/medley. It was pretty cool and they were really good. After breakfast, we headed to Arlington National Cemetery (the nations most sacred shrine). We walked through the cemetery looking at all the headstones of all those fallen war heroes. We walked up the hill, took some stairs, and went to look at President Kennedy's grave, and the Eternal Flame. President Kennedy's wife and kids are buried alongside President Kennedy. Next, we walked to the Tomb of Unknown Soldiers. The tomb holds the remains of American Soldiers from World Wars 1 & 2, the Korean Conflict, and the Vietnam War.
