Washington….. super cool! Everything I saw as a kid on the news on tv is real and even more impressive when you see them with your own eyes. I mean the Lincoln Memorial is of extraordinary proportions, even as the Washington Memorial, The Capitol…. well all of Washington Mall actually accept for the White House which is much smaller than I expected. A lot of people are protesting against Trump in front of the Whitehouse and they are very explicit about their feelings and opinion concerning the man. Although nobody seemed to have voted for the man he's still in the Whitehouse and to be honest…… I won't be surprised if he gets elected for a second term. These American are more conservative then they lead on to be.
I've never considered Washington for a city trip but how I've been there I'm telling you…. I'll be back! There is so much to see and do I would need a week and I still wouldn't be done……The have so many heritage trails throughout the city which you can walk and the list of museums just goes on and on….. national space museum, the Smithsonian, national geographic museum, natural history museum, etc, etc. They also have lots of art trails through many different neighbourhoods and that also fun to do.
What most people maybe don't know they do a really cool thing with outdoor movies…… they pop up at night at several different locations and they are showing all sorts of film noir movies. So you just take a seat on the grass and enjoy the film. The movies aren't in the same location and not nighty so you need a bit of luck to catch one but the atmosphere is totally worth it!
We stayed in a really crappy Airbnb the first 2 nights. Although the neighbourhood was great and there were so much café's and bars plus a good breakfast place with a terrace where I was allowed to smoke…. I couldn't wait to get out of there. We needed an extra night because we've landed another job at a farm in Nebraska and we couldn't catch an earlier train than departing Friday so we needed the extra night….. We ended up in a place near the neighbourhood Georgetown, great place and excellent staff! One woman at the reception said to us that she's visiting the Mont Blanc next week she has a trip of two weeks scheduled through Italy, Austria, Switzerland and France. Her husband was very worried…. 2 weeks??? What are we going to do over there? Europe is just to small we are going to get bored! I guess her husband has never been to Europe…….
