Quick Visit to Downtown
I got out of my class and we headed for the Metro.
I will say that there ticket system is the most confusing thing I have tried to figure out. I'm sure it makes sense to someone, but the web, and the pamphlet we had were no help and the vending machine printing was useless. Anyway, we got a ticket and got on board.
We got on and rode for about a half hour.
Which put us out at the Federal Triangle.
Thanks to Ray our friend who Julie had talked to about some tips.
If we had had more time we would have tried out the Segway tours.
The White House, somebody behind me was saying he thought they might be on the porch, but I did not see anbody.
This is very much taller in person.
Looking towards the Lincoln Memorial, past the World War II Memorial.
The President's own Marine Band.
The Capitol and the Smithsonian, we will come back when we have more time.
