Day 121 - Washington, tourist things

Outside of the dramas, this was part of our day in Washington. We took a casual walk through the city, hitting all the big tourist items.

First up was the United States Capital building. The guy on the horse is Ulysses S Grant, he is known for doing important enough things to have a statue of him built in a prominent place in Washington.

Then the Washington Monument. It is extremely impressive both far away and up close. The way the shadows and light change on it during the day is also very interesting.

The last picture in the city is the White House. You can just see a tiny bit of it between the trees and the other building. We were not able to approach it unfortunately, the area was closed just prior to us arriving.

We had lunch. The desert was impressively large.

Joggers everywhere. Later in the day I mentioned that if I had a dollar for every jogger I'd seen recently, I would have, like, dozens of dollars.

Stayed at the Yotel. Ultra modern, almost SciFi theme, to the room. Electric futon that used a proper mattress. Water pressure/temperature only ok-ish.Read more
