Some photos of our day in Washington DC - 16th Sept

I really wanted these photos to be in chronological/geographical order, but can't get the blog formatted to do so without pulling my hair out, so hopefully you don't mind too much.

The Washington Memorial - it's rather huge 

The Washington Memorial from the Reflection Pool that's in front of the Lincoln Memorial

The Lincoln Memorial - site of numerous significant history-making speeches and protests, including Martin Luther King Jr "I have a dream" speech and the anti-Vietnam protest

Us in front of the Capitol Building, hot and jet-lagged

Washington Memorial.  Peter would hate this.

The World's steepest and longest undergroup escalator at Adams Morgans metro station

My first proper American burger and the 24-hour diner in Adams Morgan.  Deeeelish.

Joe's first burger.

The Whitehouse, it's quite small
