Washington DC

After having breakfast infront of the Capitol (hummus with dill pickles, the worst), we checked it out from the inside. We went to the crypt, saw the statues representing the states, and the Frieze of American history in the rotunda. We were able to enter the senate and the house of representatives, where we had to leave all our stuff (wallet, electronic devices). We heard one of the guards told a story of the attack of the Capitol to some visitors.
We also visited the Library of Congress, the world's biggest library, a beautiful building. Then we walked through the whole National Mall, visiting the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the MLK memorial, and the White House. Washington DC turned out to be a very cool city to visit, with many interesting museums for free, but unfortunately we only had a little time, so we only made it to the National Museum of American History.もっと詳しく
