I know I promised to write at least once a day about my trip, but as always I can't keep any of my promises.
I have now reached the end of my trip at Washington D.C. and let me tell you, I had a BLAST! I am completely exhausted and my feet hurt like crazy, but it was awesome! I freaking love D.C. The entire city or mall is beautiful to say the least. I would definitely encourage anyone to visit D.C. at least once in their life time. Even if you don't like museums or history, you still have Chinatown to see and plenty of events to go, and hey, even the subway ride is an attraction itself lol.
Here is my little list:
Places I went to:
- Chinatown
- Arlington Cemetery
- Arlington House
- Tomb of the Unknown soldier
- Changing of the Guard
- Kennedy's tomb
- FedEx Field (Watched Barcelona v. Manchester U. play)
- Lincoln Memorial
- Washington D.C. Obelisk
- WWII Memorial
- National Museum of American History
- National Museum of Natural Science
- U.S. Capitol (Inside Tour also)
- White House
Thing I like the most about Washington:
- Subway train system
- The city has hills, Therefore its structure is not plain, like the one from Jacksonville.
- Seems very pleasant city to live in, even though is full of tourist
- The model of its houses, which are Similar to old style barbie houses
Places I enjoyed the most in Washington:
- The subway (Yes I'm in love with subways)
- The WWII Memorial Plaza
- The Fedex Field in Maryland
Thing I liked the least:
- The city is not that clean
- The bus system indications are not as good as the subway system
Places I enjoyed the least:
- Arlington Cementery ( I just don't see the big deal on watching tombs everywhere... they're all dead)
- The entrance to the U.S. Capitol (Police guard made me throw away my two $3 water containers in order to be allow to enter the Capitol. Bastards)
- Our Hotel ( I know is irrelevant to the city lol)
The number one thing I like the most about Washington D.C.:
- All places are FREE to enter (Except the subway... but you know I still love it)
Just a few final thoughts, if I ever had the opportunity to live in Washington D.C. I would do so in a heartbeat. It is a very pretty city with incredible places to visit to and they're all free! I mean, you have you're set of cool, tall buildings; you have a very well established transportation system; and you have you're museums and historic places to visit. What more can you ask for in a city?
My ratings for Washington D.C.: 8.9
