washington dc: a short tour

I was in DC a couple of weeks ago on my way back to London. I had a few hours to be a tourist, so I hopped on the Metro...



...where the "Park and Ride" concept has a distant cousin:



I went to the Washington Monument (which I failed to take a picture of), enjoyed the 70-second elevator ride to the top, and took a few snapshots of the view.

Begin tour.

The Lincoln Memorial



The Jefferson Memorial



The Capitol



The White House


End tour.

I love our nation's capital city. I went there my senior year, but have not been back since. I am sure all the cool stuff has not changed... so I am not too concerned. But I do want to visit again.
