THE BEANS FIGHT THE FUTURE: WE CAN DO IT!

Naomi Parker Fraley

This morning, The Beans have visited two old friends, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, the two FBI Special Agents who are specialized in The X Files events of paranormal activity. Both of them work in Washington, D.C. and have invited The Beans to their office to talk about the mysterious sinking of their boat in Liberty Island. 

Mulder and Scully have exposed their different future theories and they have talked about certainly things (will) and uncertainly (may).

After visiting them, the family has been talking about ghosts, legends, equality of genre and poetry and The Grandma has remembered an old legend from Majorca located in the Serra de Tramuntana and its influences in tv series, literature and cinema.

The family has created a good reputation to the worst and most terrible characters and they have been talking about kind experiences in a try to create a standard story for their future exam.

Finally, The Grandma has talked about the importance of creating connections between different things and she has remembered one of her heroes of her childhood: Charlie Rivel.

Legends are all to do with the past and nothing to do with the present.

This afternoon, The Beans have visited Foggy Bottoms, one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods in Washington, D.C.

Foggy Bottom is one of the oldest late 18th- and 19th-century neighborhoods in Washington, D.C. Foggy Bottom is west of the White House and downtown Washington, in the Northwest quadrant, bounded roughly by 17th Street to the east, Rock Creek Parkway to the west, Constitution Avenue to the south, and Pennsylvania Avenue to the north. 

The Beans are visiting Foggy Bottom

Much of Foggy Bottom is occupied by the main campus of the George Washington University. Foggy Bottom is thought to have received its name due to its riverside location, which made it susceptible to concentrations of fog and industrial smoke, an atmospheric quirk.

The Foggy Bottom area was the site of one of the earliest settlements in what is now the District of Columbia, when German settler Jacob Funk subdivided 0.53 km2 near the meeting place of the Potomac River and Rock Creek in 1763. The settlement officially was named Hamburgh, but colloquially was called Funkstown where a German community was founded by many German immigrants.

By the 19th century, Foggy Bottom became a community of white and black laborers employed at the nearby breweries, glass plants, and city gas works. These industrial facilities are also cited as a possible reason for the neighborhood's name, the "fog" being the smoke given off by the industries.

Finally, The Beans have stayed in the neighbourhood having dinner and playing some word games that Natalia Bean has offered to her family while they have been talking about heroes and superheroes.
