Washington D.C. Day 2

Day 2 in Washington D.C. was spent at the National Mall with all the monuments and memorials. I started at the White House and made my way around to the Washington Monument, World War II Memorial, Reflecting Pool, Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, FDR Memorial and Jefferson Memorial. It was quite a bit of walking but worth it.

There was a rain shower midway through but I found shelter under a tree by the Reflecting Pool for a while - quite relaxing.

















Washington D.C. Day 1

I am in Washington D.C. for the first time. And it's quite inspiring - seeing all the monuments, memorials and buildings in the city in person.

Monday I spent my afternoon visiting the Postal Museum (which is part of the Smithsonian) and the Library of Congress. I saw the Capitol Building and Supreme Court on my wanderings as well.
