Washington DC

After a journey of 1724 miles through six states we arrived today at the nation's capital, left our hire car and our trusty SatNav at Ronald Reagan National Airport, and then travelled by Metro to our AirBnB home for the next few days.

Just before we arrived at Washington we visited the city of Alexandria, Virginia, saw the church (left) where George Washington worshipped (and where Winston Churchill and President Roosevelt attended church immediately after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor), and enjoyed a walk along the waterfront looking over the Potomac River to Washington DC, where the dome of the Capitol building gleamed in the sun.
