RTW: Exchange in Chile

Visiting the capital

DC passed by quite fast. I was really just looking forward to getting into New York (which, by the looks of things, might just be the greatest city on Earth), so I spent a little over 24 hours in Washington DC, checking out the sights. This time I'll let the pictures tell the story, as there was little to say about the city besides its monuments (that for staying there a day).

The Bush residence, thank god not too long anymore:



Lincoln memorial and the famous sight (felt just like Clint Eastwood sitting on the stairs, just did not catch any pigeons there):





Washington memorial, yet another fallos symbol:



"The hill", admittedly much more impressive than the copies of it presented in Buenos Aires and Havana (I guess it is the overall setting and the white colour):





To finalize my DC experience, I went to spy on Pentagon and check out the Arlington cemetery on the other side of the Potomac river. The amount of identical, white-stone graves in Arlington really silenced me.
