Terça-feira passada foi dia de eleições por aqui. Não fazem feriado e por isso tudo funciona normalmente, com algumas exceções, como as escolas que sediam as votações. Este foi o caso da escola do Quico e da Alice. Portanto, o Quico não precisou trabalhar e nem a Alice ir para a aula. Aproveitamos o dia para passear.
Fomos novamente à Washington DC. Dessa vez visitamos o Jardim Botânico.
Last Tuesday was Election Day here. Everything works normally because it is not a holiday. There are some exceptions like some schools that are used as voting places. This was the case of Quico’s and Alice’s schools. He didn’t work and she didn’t go to school. Then we went out.
We went to Washington DC once again. This time we went to Botanic Garden.
Washington’s Botanic Garden is a very huge greenhouse. If we pay attention only to the size it will be impossible to compare with Brazilian’s – they are much bigger and outdoors! But, anyway, Washington Botanic Garden is very beautiful and interesting. There are different climate rooms that show plants from different parts of the world.
.... E tinha até uma figueira lá dentro, só que era de mentirinha! Hehehehe...
... And there was a fig tree (Ficus americana), but it was false! Hehehehe….
E, é claro, como não poderia deixar de ter: uma bananeira!
And, of course, there was a banana tree!
Em outra sala havia espécies típicas do deserto. Lá dentro estava super seco, é claro. E também reconhecemos várias plantas.
There was other room with species typical from deserts. Of course, the air inside that room was very dry. We also recognized some plants.
Uma dessas salas era a das orquídeas. Um sonho!
There was other room with lots of orchids. It was a dream!
Depois de visitarmos o Jardim Botânico fomos fazer um programa especial para a Alice: patinar no gelo. Pegamos o metrô e fomos até Arlington (cidadezinha próxima à Washington). Desta vez, como prometido, quem patinou com ela foi o Quico. E eles adoraram, é claro!
Afterwards we had a special program for Alice: ice skating. We took the metro and went to Arlington (a town near Washington). And how it was promises, this time, Quico skated with her. And, both of them loved it!
