OK - so one more tonight...just keeping you up to speed....

Loved Washington - not too big a fan of American politics in general, but some of the memorials were incredible and I was moved to tears at the Lincoln memorial. They have the gettysburg address on the left and his second inagural address on the right - both incredible. Then downstairs you can see the emancipation proclamation and some video of Martin Luther King Jr. address from the memorial. Incredible, that is a cool heritage. Even while being annoyed by the current american political scene, it did spur me on to think again about going into politics...I wonder.

We also loved Old Georgetown - we found this great little pub called Martins that has served all the presidents since it opened. The Kennedy's got engaged there and a KGB spy ran operations out of there in the 50's!
Nice!
