Up until this point I have found day three to be the best of all the days. The National Press Club was very interesting. To know that I had stepped foot in a room that Fidel Castro, a man who I had read, studied, and heard about for so many years, himself had been in, was a humbling. Trips to the Smithsonian museums as well as the seeing the Lincoln and Washington Memorials brought forth a surge of history and power upon me. Events and monuments to people and places that had shaped to world that we live in today. My interest in politics and history is rekindled. Walking around the city, and seeing all the federal buildings and architecture persuaded me that I could see myself coming here again, be it for the long term or for another short trip. The power and prestige of the Capital are enough to inspire anybody to become what they want. To shape history is what I desire, and that is a very attainable goal in my eyes.
