From Annapolis it's just a stone's throw to Washington and we reached our hotel around two o'clock, which was near the Capitol. Here we checked in quickly and then had to get rid of our car for the next two days. In the US- capital is not an easy and certainly not a cheap undertaking. The parking garage at Union Station was recommended to us online and a little later we were standing “carless” in the huge station lobby. What a splendor :-)!

From here it was just a short walk to the Capitol and we strolled along the Mall until sunset, a park that forms the central axis of the American capital, to the Washington Monument.

The splendor and size of the individual buildings almost took our breath away. But towards the evening it started to get very cold, We curled up in our hotel room on Capitol Hill. Morgen war ja auch noch ein Tag 🙂

Die wichtigsten Dinge erledigt man bekanntlich am besten zuerst. Da wir auf jeden Fall das Capitol besuchen wollten, das nur 10 minutes away from the hotel, minutes away from the hotel. minutes away from the hotel. minutes away from the hotel. minutes away from the hotel, minutes away from the hotel. minutes away from the hotel.

minutes away from the hotel. minutes away from the hotel, minutes away from the hotel. minutes away from the hotel. minutes away from the hotel. Auf der anderen Seite war dann aber die Sicht frei 🙂 Vorbei am Washington Monument ging es dann zum Lincoln Monument. Die haben wirklich viele Monumente hier 🙂 Diese waren an einem Tag nicht alle zu erreichen, besonders wenn man noch ins Museum wollte. Das „United States Holocaust Memorial Museum“ hatten wir uns für heute vorgenommen. Keine leichte Koste, aber sehr bewegend und informativ.

Für diesen Museumbesuch hatte sich Unterstützung angekündigt. Kai von der SY LIKEDEELER war auch in Washington und wir freuten uns über ein Wiedersehen nach unserem letzten Treffen auf Guadeloupe in der Karibik. Das Museumscafe hatte zwar den Charme einer Bahnhofshalle, aber eigentlich war es völlig egal. After a good hour we finally decided to visit the exhibition.

Besonders das Zweite war wirklich beeindruckend und entführte uns in eine andere Welt. Aber irgendwie war unsere Unternehmungslust für heute verschwunden und wir holten unser Auto ab und kehrten Washington den Rücken. Ewas Abstand und viel Natur würde einer besseren Laune wohl zuträglich sein 🙂
