Staying within 4 hours drive from the capital of the country ... a visit to Washington DC was long due... Some free time at the end of the semester and a weekend prediction that says "sunny"... probably not worth waiting any longer.. so we decided to go on a two day trip to DC and Baltimore. A good old friend joining us made it memorable!
Capitol .. not half as elegant as Vidhana Soudha ...
White House .. . Nothing about it is specially appealing but for its age (for all that hype.. u know!!) .. considering Raj Bhavan is about as old (or may be 50 years younger.. all the same!!)...
Lincoln memorial ... This one is good .. but is a mere "copy" of a Greek Doric temple (Very similar to "Arcopolis" or "Parthenon")
with a "Lincoln inside" label...
Washington Monument as seen from the Relfection pool (cant hold myself from comparing it to Qutb Minar which is 400 years older... but should I ?? naaaaah!!!!!!!!)
Bult hold on .. there was something really beautiful that was spotted in this pool...
