20 thousand steps. That is the number of steps we have walked together. We started our day with a bus drive to Washington DC. Our kids had been so excited, they could hardly wait for this day. We saw some places and at the most significant ones, BT kids told us the story of the given place. We were really happy to see all those things that are worth a visit. The most memorable moment of the day after the squirrels, was when Rabbi Soskil showed us the video about Martin Luther King’s speech, which was recorded right at the place we were sitting in the afternoon, at the Lincoln’s Memorial. After a long days walk it was fabulous to have dinner in a restaurant. Each and every student of SSG arrived back to their hosts filled with experiences and joy. They are simply becoming brothers and sisters. We know that our friends are our chosen relatives.
