Nice drive to Washington after breakfast at the local cafè ,which was a little twin peaks´ish.
A somewhat scenic drive thru the Shenandoah valley and the park by the same name and went thru yet another small town called Strasburg. A lot of german sounding names on the american countryside in general.
Our arrival in D.C ended up at the Channel Inn down at the marina and walking distance to all the "must-see" places in D.C.
In about 45 minutes we had seen it all. D.C was packed with people(aka. tourists) who also wanted to see the same places as we did.
The security was extremely tight with cops literally on every corner. We asked someone if there is something special going on and they said that it´s like this all the time in D.C. At least after 9/11. No wonder when you pack FBI, IMF, The White House, Congress, Pentagon, a lot of different memorials from many different wars, The National Treasury (norwegian: Sentralbanken) in not so many square miles. This place got a lot of symbolic vaue.
Later we ended up in a nice italian restaurant in a district called Foggy Bottom (kinda strange name). Good food.
