For today's class, we visited the LGBT Community Center in Hillcrest. There weren't a lot of students today because the trip was from 11am-2pm instead of the usual time. I really liked the architecture of the center. I talked to a guy named Dan, who visits the center monthly by bus. He is originally from Ohio. He was in the Navy for a couple years and while in the Navy, he was able to travel to different places around the world. He said he decided to join the Navy because he didn't have that many other options and it was a good way to travel. He's been to France, Germany and the Phillippines. He mentioned that he got to see the Notre Dame in France before it became the state it is in currently. He's also been to the Louvre Museum but he mentioned that by the time he arrived, every wing had closed except the Egyptian wing. He's also been to the British Library in London, where he got to see mauscripts, and music sheets from the Beatles. Everyone got a chance to share what they had discussed at each other's tables and I liked hearing what everyone had to say. We also enjoyed Chinese food from Royal Mandarin Restaurant and it was delicious. We all watched the youtube video for Man in the Mirror at the end too, and then took a group photo outside. I enjoyed going to the Center today, and would like to come back sometime.
