Our Favorite 5 Places in America

Hello! SIM 2 students went to many famous places during our program.

Our names are Eunjin Chun, Huikyoung Park and Seoulgi Lee. We are Korean students and during the program, we traveled to many places. So we want to share our experience with you.

Among many places, we picked up 5 places where we think most memorable. 

1. Lincoln memorial

On July 30th, we traveled to Washington D.C. 

We went to the White house, the Lincoln memorial, The Smithsonian and so on.

The Lincoln memorial is located in West End of National Mall, Washington, D.C. 

It was one of the most impressive places for us.

The Lincoln statue is magnificent and meaningful in that Lincoln statue is located facing the Congress so that Lincoln can observe the policy of America.

Also, it was impressive that Martin Luther King made a speech "I Have a Dream" in there.

2. LOVE park in Philadelphia

On August 1st, we visited Philadelphia.

LOVE park is located in center city, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In there, one couple took a wedding picture and it was so beautiful. 

Also, we played in the fountain behind a LOVE statue. It was fun :D

3. Governors island

On August 9th, we had a trip to New York.

Among many places in New York, Governors island was most peaceful and quiet place.

It was not a big island, but we could see beautiful scenery of nature across Manhattan.

Because the Governors island was a military district for  200 years, nature is well conserved and there is a great fortress. We also met a flute player wearing American traditional clothes.

4. Talmar Gardens - http://www.talmar.org/

On August 6th, we went to Talmar Gardens to help with farming.

Talmar Gardens has a lot of land and they grow lots of organic crops.  

During the day, we planted pumpkins and watered them. Also, we harvested some berries and tasted berries. Especially, ground cherry was so sweet. 

5. Six flags America

On a free day, we went to Six flags by ourselves. We arrived at 9:30 a.m and waited an hour to enter. Fortunately, there were a few people so we could ride all of roller coasters in there without waiting. Especially, Superman and Batman were one of the most exciting attractions for us. So we rode Superman 3 times! It's fun and we really enjoyed that day.

Thank you for reading our posting and hope you have a great day :)
