We started our day with a visit to Arlington Military Cemetery which shows the graves of 320,000 American Soldiers and is still a working place. There were 9 funerals taking place today, that is a further 9 soldiers killed serving their country to be buried today alone. This place in not only very historic, but vast and very thought provoking. We saw the changing of the guard - these soldiers change guard all day every day 365 days a year. A job taken so seriously that they were told to stand down a few year ago during a hurricane and they refused.
This evening we gave the best concert of the tour, this was at the Argentine Embassy in DC. At the embassy, we sang to 100 people including many ex pats and Old Georgians - it was an amazing evening followed by a reception. Many friends were made and the Old Georgian club of Washington and New York asked us to return in conjunction with the club at a future date to perform for them end enjoy their hospitality.
Here are today's highlights...................................Last day today....hard to believe......
