~Washington D.C.~

18/10/2008~20/10/2008
Next we arrived to Washington D.C. where the weather was perfect in every way..

Our first stop of the day was the Arlington National Cemetery where we get to see the names of the soldiers who sacrificed in war.It is said that its quite hard to get a place here as it's a very famous and good place to RIP..The main attraction of this place was these..

The famous words of John F.Kennedy and also the actual grave of J.Kennedy.Next we went to Abraham Lincoln's memorial where we can see the Reflecting pool reflecting the one and only taller than 130meters building in Washington D.C.,the Washington Monument.




Next was Thomas Jefferson's memorial.Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 – July 4, 1826) was the third President of the United States (1801–1809), the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776), and one of the most influential Founding Fathers for his promotion of the ideals of republicanism in the United States.


See the famous words of his? "That All Men Are Created Equal"

Next,the White House.What more should I say?

We also took pictures with the U.S. Capitol
All those visits were done on one day..which was on the 18th..See how packed our schedule is?So we opt to pamper ourselves with some Spain food for dinner..

The next day we had our free day and early that morning we queued up to get the tickets to go up the Washington Monument.Saw a very energetic Brazillian Drums performance..

Then we visited the National Museum of Natural History,Air and Space Museum and the National Gallery of Art..there was a whole row of museums there but we opt to only go to these 3.A picture by the famous Leonardo da Vinci..

The Wright Brother's with Sakuya and me at the Air and Space Museum.After that we went up the Washington Monument to get the whole view of Washington D.C.


The girls went to George Town for dinner that night but I was sick due to the cold I caught in New York and due to fatigue.Rie took my camera with her as her's was stolen so..A picture of Georgetown..

And lastly a very cool connecting tunnel from Terminal A to Terminal B in Detroit Airport before we head to our last stop Ohio,Columbus..
