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")

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!!!!!!!!)
