Early in the morning, we headed to the US capital. After reaching the hotel, which due to my carelessness turned out to be in a rough neighborhood (yikes), we rushed to the Mall. The National Mall is an open area with memorials and numerous museums.

We didn't manage to see all the sights, but we did manage to see the main ones. That's a relief!)

I captured the three branches of government: the very beautiful Capitol, no wonder several architects built it for 38 years. It is magnificent. The White House, I admit honestly, I expected more... But the games on the lawn in front of the house are very cool, great guys.) And the Supreme Court building. The USA, which conquered with its beauty.

In the center of the Mall, you can see the Washington Monument. It is a marble obelisk pointing straight to the sky. And right opposite is the Lincoln Memorial, inside which a grandiose sculpture of Abraham Lincoln is installed. Yes, and between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial is the National World War II Memorial. In the evening light, everything looks so attractive and flawless that you don't want to leave at all, just sit and enjoy.))

We also visited the Smithsonian Institution and the National Air and Space Museum. It's something unreal. So many amazing things, really interesting and informative. I am delighted with this museum!)

This city is completely different from New York. Such a contrast. Washington is a very calm and quiet city. It feels like a business city.

But in the evening, the city comes alive. Fans appear in bars, all tables in cafes are occupied, and there are crowds of people in line in stores. Something like that...

My thoughts are very contradictory. But definitely, this city is very beautiful and requires attention and detailed study. But unfortunately, I don't have time.(((

Tomorrow we hit the road. Hello, Orlando!))
