Hello, Washington DC!
Flying into DC airport at 4:30pm on a Thursday afternoon, I was out of the airport and onto the Metro quicker than I would have thought. My first glimpse of DC: old railway bridge across the Potomac River. DCA really is close to the city!
Having found my hostel, home for the next three nights while I furiously try to house-hunt, I headed out on a quest to get a SIM card (super-easy), then down across the National Mall to a free outdoor cinema night at the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial (Zootopia: even better when not in Japanese!) Some first impressions: the Carnegie Library...
The HQ of the AAAS!
The White House: it's just there, you can walk right past it and even take selfies...
GWU and the Washington Monument as seen from outside the Lincoln Memorial.
The MLKJ memorial itself: somewhat featureless from this side... and the Washington Monument by night.
