First, I met Laura in Chicago... then George in Rome, and then he popped up in front of me again, in Washington...
I've had the chance to visit Washington on... now FIVE different occasions, in Summer, Winter and Spring, in the 80's and in the 90's, and now in the 2000's, so each trip was very different from another. This hasn't made me an expert, though, and this page features just the most basic places of this great town.
The picture above portraits a sunset on the Potomac River. It was one of my early attempts as an amateur photographer, during my childhood, back in the distant year of Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Nine...

Although it is an old American city, I wouldn't think of getting around without a car. Especially in winter. more travel advice

Cool aircrafts on exposition, like the Apollo 11, the Spirit of St. Louis, the Enola Gay. Part of the Smithsonian... more travel advice

Not much to do with any other cemetery I've seen, this one is peaceful to the extreme, with the white uniform headstones... more travel advice
The White House

We can't (couldn't?) see the Oval Office, only some rooms on the first floor. Free of charge, but there's a *long* line... more travel advice

GWB will be waiting for you on Thursday, Orlando. Woohoo. Shutting down the city for the day so he can have his little parade and the (adoring) masses can wave...yawwwnnnn.....;-O
I work in Washington and am always interested in seeing someone else's impression of the city. Great page. But I would suggest using the Metro and leave the car parked outside of the city. Less traffic and no problem parking.
I hope to visit this place next month, thanks for giving me this info...I'll let you know if you can go to the observatorydeck for free [I'm afraid not]
Very good info!!! Living only couples hours (by plane) of Washington... I still haven't the time to visit it!!!
Nice page, good to see you're still travelling
great work Orlando i was also there this past year!
would like to meet ur friend & teach him few lessons :)
a friend of Billy Cigar or of George,the Pretzel-gourmet ??
How did you like my friend George`s place?
