Washington D.C.

Over 20 people & I parked in parking spaces on a street by the Washington Monument. Apparently a dozen of us did not pay attention to the sign that all parking terminated at 4 pm for the afternoon rush. When I came back around 5, my car & 11 others had been "put up" on the grassy meridian. I walked the row checking & no one had tickets. will I get a bill from the city of Washington?













That's the Vietnam War
Memori-al.





































I not was surprised at the distance between the grassy mound of the Washington Monument & The Lincoln Memorial. There's also the War of the Pacific Memorial at the end of the reflecting pool.





Washington was hot & difficult. No tours would allow Jake but when we dragged our hot asses back to the car parked far away from the tours center, I had parked in a very expensive underground parking lot(level 7 deep) & the car temperature was okay. I'll keep that in mind for Philadelphia if I can't find a tour that will take Jake.

I'd like to come back to D.C. on a tour. I left without going to the Smithsonian. I drove around & saw all the major sites. Dropped the camera on the car floor & couldn't pick it up while driving so don't have photos of the White House.














I like these row houses.
