As I said, geography is my next best subject after math.
We finally arrived in DC (District of Columbia -- ngayon ko lang nalaman yan, in fairness) after hours on the road so it was almost dark when we got there. We then decided to make this a 2-day stopover so we could maximize the trip. Day 1 was spent walking, walking some more, and then walking again (I slowly started to understand why we needed 2 days in DC).
Oh, and did I mention that the parts we visited in the east were in heat wave? For the whole week???
Lincoln Memorial
Me to Paulo: OK na ko, makita ko lang si Pareng Lincoln.
There were only a few people when we got there. It was a week day after all.
Just like in the movies
People there were polite. They waited for their turn to get a "solo" photo in front of Lincoln.

With the columns outside
They drained the reflecting pool across the memorial, so there's nothing more to do here.
Washington Monument
Me to self: Bakit si Abraham Lincoln, kamukha niya yun monument niya tapos George Washington gets an Egyptian obelisk?
We spotted Kuya with an SLR so we figured, "Ahh, photographer." And then he took this photo. Asan na yun obelisk??? We could be anywhere, really.
Lesson learned: kami na lang magpi-picture sa amin.
Hindi na maganda kalagayan ng fez ko dito. Heatstroke.
World War II Monument. I heart Pinas.
*drum roll* Paulo's masterpiece *standing slow clap*
After 2 hours of walking (stopping only to take photos), we got back to the car, drove to the subway and took the train. My feet = numb.
