16th Jan: Watergate-gate

Today we experience the full glory of a free breakfast at the Allan Lee. It even included bananas - luxury! After minding the other residents, and not taking too much food for our gobs, we set off in the beautiful 10 degree weather for a day of free monumental glory!


First up was the Lincoln Memorial, proceeded by the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Martin Luther King Jr Plaque, the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, the George Mason Memorial Bench, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, the Washington Monument, the National World War 2 Monument, the District of Columbia War Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Reflecting Pool, the Rainbow Pool, the Constitutional Gardens, the glorious White House (where I attempted to wave at Obama). We then strolled up to the other end of National Mall and checked out Capitol Hill, the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial, the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court, Union Station, a dozen or so proud US men on horses statues and the Watergate! It was ar rich full day indeed. Had some subway and candy for dinner.
