Washington DC tour

We start our tour at the Capitol, where Congress meets.
Here, you can find the national Christmas tree. There is another one at the White House, for the president.
Continuing down the mall, you find the Washington Monument, built in honour of George Washington, the first president of the United States.
And in the distance, you can see the White House, the official residence of the current president of the United States.
Walking down, you reach the World War Two Memorial, a new one dedicated in 2004, built in memory of the people from the United States who gave their lives fighting for their country during World War Two.
Further down, there is the Vietnam Memorial, which is actually not just one, but three memorials. There is the wall listing all the US soldiers who died in the war, as well as a monument to the soldiers, and a monument to the women who contributed to the war effort.
At the end of the mall, is the Lincoln Memorial, honouring the sixteenth president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln.

Next, we visited a memorial dedicated to Franklin D Roosevelt.
Last was the "muffin", a memorial to Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States and known as the person who drafted the Declaration of Independence.


All these... in one day!
