It was the day we woke up at the earliest time compared to all other days.
At 5:30 AM the alarm did his job and pushed us out of our dreams. You know how hard it is especially if you went to bed late the day before.

It was necessary because at 7 Am we needed to be at a meeting point near Time Square. I was already excited about this day. Visiting places I often see in movies and series. Everything was set up. All devices were charged and the power bank was ready, a coffee at Starbucks and we were good to go.

With the bus, it took us about 3.5 hours to reach Washington.
After halfway down the track, we made a stop for about 30 minutes. Time to have breakfast, and going to the toilet.

During the road, our female guide told us a bit about New York and the US in general. For example, she said to us that if you want to live in Manhatten, you need to prove that you earn 14x of your rent per year.
Living in Manhatten is really expensive, and I can testify it.

Because of that many people live in New Jersey which is far more affordable and it's not far away from New York. Even people are coming from Baltimore which is about 1,5 hours away and the Hotspot when it comes to car import and export. All cars a shipped to Baltimore and from there they are forwarded to their final destinations in the US.

We passed the Pentagon which is the ninth most colossal building in the world, and soon we reached our first destination.

This is a unique cemetery. Our guide told us that only people who served the land in a specific way are allowed to be buried there. Its a great and last honor for many people who lost their lives. I had some reverent moments there.

JFK, for example, is also buried there. Let me show you some pictures guys.

(The grave of John F. Kennedy and his wife)

From there we moved with the bus to our next destination. A place from where we had two more exciting sights.

Through the park, we went to the Abraham Lincoln Memorial and you could also see already the Washington monument. But there was a funny thing.

Some squirrels came so close to us or better to say to my wife that she could touch them. Surely it was looking for food. I saw that never before. Look at this picture.

Standing before the Abraham Lincoln monument was massive. This building is fantastic, and you have a perfect view to the Washington monument. And many scenes in series and movies are shot at this place or to say that this location is rebuilt. For example the series Scandal. Dou you know that series?

It was a great place to take some pictures, and I took some have a look.

Awesome isn't it?

After that, we had a little break. It was so hot on this day, and I was not dressed properly for that. As you can see. A short would have been better. We ate something and head directly to the next destination.

Let me tell you something about Washington.
The city is worthy to be the capital. You smell that power is there. The city is so clean, and the people there are different from new yorkers which are not a surprise in my opinion.

And the capitol is like​ other buildings impressive. For me the building number one in Washington.

Take a look.

There was one thing missing. One word. You know it guys. You would be stupid not to visit that place when you are the first time in DC.

Our guide told us that in movies we see only the Hollywood side. But the other site is where the whole business happens. Actually, I thought there would be more police forces in front of the white house, but it was not so.

Our guide told us that Donald Trump was not present in the White House at that moment but on his way back.
When we went back, we saw a long row of black cars. The Secret Service. But not in the intensity you see in movies :D

I couldn't make many pictures but this one I like.

I think I have not tell you much about the white house. Just few facts at the end.
