"a real goverment city." Washington D.C. by cachaseiro

Washington D.C. Travel Guide: 5,536 reviews and 14,554 photos

washington is one of those goverment cities with lot´s of monuments and museums.
it´s a little hard for me imagining living in that place as everything is very spread out and not particulary charming, but it makes one very interesting daytrip.
i visitied the city twice when i was in baltimore in september 2006 and found it very worth the visit.

naghty ducks.

while i was there i caught these naughty ducks mooning at the washington memorial.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:lot´s of sights.
  • Cons:very little soul.

    You made me blush then your mooning ducks made me laugh. Thanks for the compliment.

    happy vters indeed! And in my case hungover. We should try to find a picture of that crabby chick from the train for an amtrak tip.

    Nice page, Claus! You can find a bit of soul in Georgetown or across the river in Alexandria, but overall, your assessment is correct. It's not among the favorite places I've lived. Cheers, Mark

    I am not sure that I would enjoy to visit "one of those goverment cities" which are too well ruled!! I prefer wilder places! Anyway, nice page of yours!
