the district sleeps alone

yesterday i was able to jump on the metro and go to...

washington d.c.!
(i'm the one wearing the bright orange skirt)


let me just explain it in pictures
because i may or may not have taken one hundred and three.

at the top of the old post office there is a clock tower that you can go all the way up into
this is the view of the clock tower.

oh hey mr. president.

this monument was by far my favorite.

(washington monument behind it)
it had a huge fountain in the middle where..

you can dip your feet in (which is so refreshing after a full day of walking)

the lincoln memorial

korean war memorial.
it's kind of eerie.

towards the end of the day, we walked all around town and by the time we got to the lincoln memorial. we were pooped and that's an understatement.
we tried to flag down a taxi and were unsuccessful.
these nice people with the bikes that have a seats in the back for people to sit and the people peddle them around town.
guilty.
we rode in one of those.
it was so. fun.
and the guy looked tired but he was still really nice.

to conclude my trip post here is a picture of me holding the washington monument
