Washington DC



United-States Capitole




Washington Monument

 Unfortunately the computer I use at the hotel doesn't offer me the possibility to show you pictures, but I'll make the effort to describe you my two days in the Capitale of the United States.
Yesterday was a hard day. I woke up at 5 a.m. to leave a safe and very pleasant home. Hereby I'd like to thank Amparo for his generosity and hospitality. I arrived in Washington from Richmond at 9 o'clock. My first worry was to find my hotel to drop off my luggage. Quiet before midday I began freely to visit the city. The weather was windy, cold, freezing. The buildings I visited - the US Capitole, the Library of Congress and the US Supreme Court - were big, large and tall, designed in a greco-romain architecture. It was really confortable to visit the inside of this monuments due to the outside cold weather. The birds were trying to reach the ice of in front of the US Capitole lake.
This morning I woke up in the cold of my motel room. It was hard to get out of the bed, nevertheless the sun shone outside. Programm of the day: American History Museum, Washington Monument, White House and Art Gallery. What I prefer were the History Museum and the Art Gallery. Both were free and could necessite one full day to be visited. Unfortunately it was not allowed to take pictures inside the art gallery.
