SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF MY 2 DAYS' VISIT

~ The capital city of the United States ~

What more can I say about this amazing place? The good thing in Washington D.C. is, once you get to the central part around the National Mall, you'll find many of your must-sees close to one another, so it's easy to plan your sight seeing.

It's a city of great history, which remembers the nation's greatest leaders and honours its heroes - D.C.'s impressive memorials are quite exceptional and memorable. It's a city of grand classic architecture and dozens of museums and galleries, that will satisfy many tastes and points of interest. And yet it's a city that is so easy to slow down and relax in! Two days was not enough, I would need at least a week there to explore the museums and the lovely Georgetown village. I really hope to return some day to fill some of the blanks on my list. Now I understand why some people visit Washington D.C. yearly... you just can't get enough on one visit!

Pros and Cons

    Back for a review of your DC page. It's wonderful. My niece is taking 2 sons soon...first time for all of them. EVERYONE should be able to go.

    Very interesting tips and comments. The government buildings are much more interesting - and easier - for Americans to visit. There is a lot to see here, especially, off the beaten road. Good work.

    I didn't know about the trolleys - I don't think they had them when I was in Washington 30 years ago...I may be there in June, so this was helpful.
