Washington, D.C., District of Columbia
Untitled
I had an amazing time. It was so much better (cleaner, friendlier, more accessible) than I imagined it would be.
Being able to take the Metro and/or walk everywhere was great. I envy DC’s public transportation, but I don’t envy its air quality and crowding.
I loved that most of the museums and attractions were free. The Spy Museum WAS worth paying for, though.
Seeing the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, seeing Dorothy’s shoes in the American History exhibits, and going to the Lincoln Memorial and standing where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood made history seem real and accessible to me. All of these things I’d seen in photographs, far away and kind of surreal, became alive.
I’m so glad I went, and I want to go back. :)
