Pictures speak louder than words...

Here's the collection of posters prepared by TEA Fellows (representing 34 countries):

The Beginning

So, we got started... The welcome address in the morning, then the workshop on American education system, the discussion on our expectations, the meeting with host university representatives and the poster preparation. Really exhausting... And it all happened on my BIRTHDAY :) Anyway, today we finally had some time to go out and explore the area. The nearest metro station is located just round the corner of the hotel so we jumped onto the car (blue line) and shot off to Washington DC. This is what we saw:

the White House behind the fence

the White House without the fence

with peace activist Conception "Connie" Picciotto - a very nice lady, protesting for 31 years in front of the WH

United States Department of the Treasury

the Capitol by night. We got back to the hotel with the yellow metro line. Tomorrow exploring continued......

The Journey

Just a quick update from Frankfurt airport. The flight from Warsaw was ok, we got a croissant and a drink on board, landed safely in Frankfurt. At the moment waiting for the plane to Washington. Hope everything goes well after yesterday's shooting in DC. There's a lot of Polizei around... &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&7 Po udanym locie z Warszawy czekamy na lotnisku we Frankfurcie na lot do Waszyngtonu. Mam nadzieję, ze wszystko będzie ok, zwłaszcza po wczorajszej strzelaninie w Waszyngtonie. Na lotnisku widać niemiecką policję federalną. Wszędzie tłumy ludzi, generalnie multi-culti, dzieci, nawet psy... Ceny jak z kosmosu: kawa na Okęciu 18,00 zł, bułki we Frankfurcie od 1,50 do 5,50 Euro :):):) Photo update:
