The White House

the whitehouse visit

Visited the White House with my friends in the U.S.. Very fortunate.
“Walk fast!” “Go straight!” Oh, I was so scared!

Inside, we were guided into about ten rooms only on the ground floor with a guide. Profiles of the Presidents, family members and other guests were interesting. The painting of John F. Kennedy on the corridor was different from others. He looked calm or sad, as he closed his eyes and looked down. That was so impressive. The guide explained the reason to me that the profile was painted after his sudden death so the painter was not able to draw his eyes.

The National Archives of History was the place I was eager to visit, but I was not able to see any documents, because I haven’t prepared well enough to pass through the “researcher’s gate.” I regret it.
