Continuing on from Charleston, SC, we spent three days in DC. This city is one of my favorite cities I've been to. There is always something to do, it is hip, young, fit, green, fast, FULL OF LIFE! I've been there before with my best friend Anna, back when Wilma hit Florida in 2006 (I believe). We loved it the first time and loved it even more this time. I always say if we were to ever move from Naples, it would definitely be to that area. I mean, the whole drive from South Carolina to DC was so scenic and wonderful...lots of beautiful trees in different colors, rolling hills and gorgeous sights.
I loved the fast rythm of DC, the street fashions, the hip, office attires everywhere; all the people reading on subways or conducting business on their cell phones; people running EVERYWHERE; the people playing a game of frizbee on the lawn at National Mall; all the different cultures, cuisines, languages; the museums, that are free for everyone to visit; the monuments and memorials, all surrounded by parks...
Our friend Steve is one lucky duck to be living there so he showed us around while we were in town. The first night we got there, he took us out for a night photography tour of the National Mall. It was awesome because during the day, most of the monuments are packed full of tourists, which makes taking photos a little hard :)
So here are some shots. We started at the Capitol...
...and made our way to the Washington Monument...
This next photo is taken by Adrian in full Auto mode. Came out cool!
Then, we stopped by the World War II Memorial
And finally arrived to the other side of the National Mall, to the Lincoln Memorial
He looks simply majestic!
Deep writings...
Then, we stopped at the Korean War Memorial
And, finally, ended where we started
More to come from the museums and the most special place to me in DC: Arlington Cemetery...
Check back soon!
