Visit to Washington DC

Couple of weeks before, i went to Washington DC. It was a very hot sunny day. Well its official trip, but once my official work is over i started roaming around the city as my flight is at night 11p.m back to Boston. I booked one of the city tours and roamed the entire city. All big old buildings named after some of the leaders. Most of them are Federal buildings and many museums. Don’t have enough time to visit all the museums and places. With very few years of history, US is maintaining around 19 museums only in Washington, DC. Wondering how many museums should be in India and where are they. Anyways here are some of the photos which I clicked while roaming the city.

The best thing about Washington DC is the Metro. It is second busiest rapid system in US and it is well planned, constructed and maintained. Well the first one in US is NewYork metro.

White House


Washington Monument


US Capitol


Treasury Department


Supreme Court


Lincoln Memorial

I have drawn my hometown Tirumangalam using this tool and some days back it has been published under Google Maps. There are lot of things which i haven't marked or drawn as i don't know the names of the streets and the exact point of the location. The next time when i visit my hometown i will collect all the information and publish it in detail.
