Today in class we went deeper into the discussion of what site and situation mean and a few examples of each. But since I've already gone over what they mean, I'll just give more examples of how we explained them more thoroughly today. One example of how we explained these was through ships.

A good example of situation is Washington D.C. Washington depends on it's tourists for Presidential sites and museums. These are the two explained a little better. I feel I've grasped these definitions and examples a little better since our discussions in class. However, a test still seems to much for right now and what I know.
