Arlington National Cemetary

This place was a nightmare to get to as I never realised that it only has a single entrance which is totally inaccessible by foot. After walking in completely the wrong direction I had to ask the guard at the Marine Base where to go. He told me to get an Uber so I begrudgingly spent almost £7 in having to do so.

Anyway, the cemetary was great. When I arrived at the visitors centre the news broke that Joe Biden wouldn't be running for President later this year. What a time to be in DC and America!

In the cemetary lay approximately 400,000 people, mainly with the iconic white headstones which stretch as far as the eye can see.

Some of the most famous graves here are those of former Presidents John F Kennedy and William Taft, the first ever black Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was hoping to step down as a Supreme Court justice following the election of Hillary Clinton that never came. She tried to cling on to see Trump leave office but died just a few months beforehand meaning Trump got to nominate a new justice rather than a Democratic President as she would have desired.

I also headed up to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to see tha changing of the guard!Läs mer
