April 15th

The team whises to apologize for the late update. During this our final week in the US we will make an effort to keep the blog a little more up to date.

During sunday on the 15th the team visited some important Abramham Lincoln sites in Springfield. The visits included The Lincoln museum, The Lincoln Residence and The Lincoln Tomb.

The Lincoln Tomb in Springfield

Since Abe Lincoln was murdered April 15th 1865 the city of Springfield had a ceremony at the Lincoln Tomb during the day to honor the memory of Lincoln. During the day the team also got to meet the 16th president in person. To the team's surprise a person dressed up to impersonate Lincoln showed up outside the Lincoln museum. He had participated in the ceremony earlier during the day.
