A day in D.C.

In late Oct. 2021, I visited Washington to tour a law school, visit some friends and see some family. As someone interested in politics and American history, I took this opportunity to visit some notable landmarks and enjoy some alone time downtown. A busy Monday was filled with breakfast at a cafe, a visit to Old Alexandria and time downtown in the capital.

The Washington Monument stands alone among a blue sky. This is the tallest building in Washington and was the tallest building in the world when it was completed in 1884.
