Congress is out of town this week, but the tourists have descended on the city. All this week, we’re going to follow one of them, a 14 year old from South LA visiting Washington DC for the first time.

My name is Isabel Wood and this is Izzy’s Diary.

Washington, DC is very different from Los Angeles ‘cause it has a lot of buildings and like the Capitol, Washington Monument, you’re like right there.

When I came here at first, it was like – like it didn’t look real.

To me, I don’t know, but I need to see something to know that it’s working. Well, I don’t necessarily know that it’s working but it’s a building there. Obviously there’s people there that’s trying to help you out, trying to make bills, trying to make laws that help the people.

Oh, of course I was so joyous when I saw the snow ‘cause it was the first time I ever saw snow. Oh my God! But I guess people here are just normal to where they just hate it. But I think that it’s cool. I don’t know why.
