The Senior Class of Ely Memorial High School took its annual tour of Washington, DC this spring, giving Akira an opportunity to see America's Capitol and tour many of the monuments.
In the top photo you can see Akira in the Rotunda of the Capitol building, with Representative Nolan of Minnesota pointing out special features for the students.
In the second photo, the boys are grouped in front of the statue of Abraham Lincoln, one of the many sites they got to explore.
The last picture shows the group as they arrived to tour Mt Vernon, in the Virginia countryside near Washington. Mt Vernon was George Washington's home and is maintained as a museum dedicated to preserving his life.
