This Saturday evening we went to Washington DC only to have a look at the National Christmas Tree in the President Park (known as the Ellipse) near the White House. Every year in the beginning of December, since 1923, the US President and the First Lady light the tree.
Esse pinheiro, de aproximadamente 12 metros de altura, foi transportado para esse local em 1978 e ao redor dele foram plantados mais 56 outros pinheiros menores que representam os 50 estados americanos, o distrito de Columbia e ainda os 5 territórios pertencentes aos EUA.
This 40-foot (12 m) tree was transported to that place in 1978 and around it 56 smaller trees were planted, each one of them represents one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the 5 US Territories.
Aqui estamos nós! Here we are!
