Having lived in Gaithersburg, MD, for a year,way back in the Eighties. It was quite the trip down memory lane to go into town and wander round Washington DC once again. Predictably the monuments don’t change much, I guess that’s the whole point of a monument… the Korean War Memorial was new to me, but everything else remains much the same, a reassuring thing.
It was a glorious day, but omg, so freezing old… I hadn’t worn thermals under my jeans and my thighs were numb by the time I got home… I don’t have photos of the Holocaust Museum which was also a new one for me, it was an incredible place to visit and one I highly recommend. It strikes the right balance between interesting and arresting.
