D.C.

Since class was canceled on Thursday, I decided to go and see the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument. The other day, I saw the Monument from a distance but my feet were killing me so bad that I wasn’t able to walk all the way up to it. It was a perfect day to walk. I got off on the Smithsonian stop from the metro and started walking towards the Washington Monument. A gentle breeze was blowing across my face as I anxiously walked closer and closer to the Monument. I know I said that I hate taking those same ol’ tourist photos, but I just had to take some of the Monument. And the view of the Washington Monument from the stairs of the Lincoln Memorial is simply breathtaking.

I wanted to see the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, but there were so many people around it that I decided I’d go back another day.

So after touring around for over an hour, I was really hungry and I decided to go to Dupont Circle and get something to eat. I took the metro there. I began walking around deciding on where to eat and then I passed by Cosi and saw all these people eating delicious salads so I thought I would go there. I’m glad I went there because the Caesar salad I got was really good, and OMG the bread was delicious!!

This first photo reminded me of those postcards that you see in the giftshops at the airport. So I thought I would add the little “Wish you were here…” to it since I miss all my friends from Houston so much.

I just love the yellow! I saw this while walking around Dupont Circle, but I’ve also seen a similar home behind the GW hospital.

I think this was the outside of one of the Smithsonian buildings…
