The Library of Congress
18 de marzo de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C
Next stop is the Library of Congress. This is the largest library in the world, and the oldest US central government institution, established in 1800. It includes over 173 million titles including one of a few Gutenberg Bibles.

After the library was first established during the 1812 war it was destroyed by the British. After the war, Thomas Jefferson offered to sell his large personal library as a replacement. Congress accepted his offer in January 1815, appropriating 23K to purchase his 6,487 books.Leer más

Día 9
Arlington Cemetery
18 de marzo de 2023, Estados Unidos
Next stop today is Arlington Cemetery, the US national cemetery. It included the grave of John F Kennedy, the tomb of the unknown soldier, and memorials for the challenger disaster, Pan Am flight and the Pentagon 9/11 attack.

The most interesting part was the exhibition that went with the unknown soldier. Unlike other countries, the US continued to place an unknown solider for all the war post-WW1/WW2. However, with advancements in medicine it is possible to identify the soldiers. So a few years after the Vietnam war, the unknown soldier from that war was exhumed from their tomb and identified.Leer más

Día 9
The View of DC
18 de marzo de 2023, Estados Unidos
Starting today with a free observation deck that looks out over Washington DC. It had fantastic views and I couldn’t believe that it was free and that I was the only one there! I think the pictures speak for themselves but the views spread across to the Capitol building, Lincoln memorial, Washington monument, pentagon, and many more spots.Leer más

Tidal Basin
17 de marzo de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
To finish the day, and with the train easing off I had a walk around Tidal Basin. The park was covered in cherry blossom with beautiful views out over Washington DC. The Basin’s walk ways also included a number of impressive monuments:

• Martin Luther King
• Korean War Memorial
• Franklin D Roosevelt
• Thomas Jefferson MemorialLeer más

Día 8
Lincoln Memorial
17 de marzo de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
This was far bigger than I had imagined. What makes it fascinating is the fact he looks out over the Capitol down a 3.6km straight line to the Capitol.

Día 8
The White House
17 de marzo de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
One of the surprises of the trip so far was seeing the White House and just how small it is. I really was expecting a larger and grand building, but this was small, elegant and almost lost in amongst all the other buildings in DC.

It was however, fascinating to see all the same, made more so that when I’d reached the back I was able to see President Biden and his motorcade come by.Leer más

Día 8
National Archives
17 de marzo de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Next stop was the National Archives, no pictures were allowed, but it is here that the original versions of the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights are on display. More importantly though it was here that Gates stole the Declaration of Independence in Disney’s 2004 film National Treasure.

The Archives also had a 1297 version of the Magna Carta, I found this more fascinating that the other documents, many couldn’t believe it was actually from 1297 😂.

I also visited the Archives info centre that showed how they secure and keep the constitution in good condition, this was also in Disney’s 2004 film National Treasure when Gates steals the Dec of Independence.Leer más

Ford’s Theatre
17 de marzo de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
First stop of the day was the Ford’s Theatre, it was here in April, 1865, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by well-known stage actor John Wilkes Booth. What I found interesting was prior to this Lincoln had gone to the Ford’s theatre to see a play staring Booth, during the play Booth aimed many of the harsher lines of the play at Lincoln. One of Lincoln’s aides said “he has it in for you.”Leer más

Into the Woods
16 de marzo de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 15 °C
Final stop of the day was ‘The Kennedy Centre,’ a large arts venue on the bank of the Potomac River, to see ‘Into the Woods.’ This was a show that has just transferred from Broadway and started an actress who was in Wicked and her husband Sebastian Arcelus who’s been in House of Cards, Madam Secretary, Rent, Wicked and Elf.

The night also ended with me bumping into someone from work, who was over here with work and decided at the last minute to see if there was any tickets left. What are the chances..:Leer más
