Washington DC

Reagan's assassination attempt was at the Washington Hilton Hotel

Capitol - Washington DC


I am more an American than a Canadian these days. Just arrived in the capital.

The taxi driver was so kind to point out monuments on the way to the hotel, i.e. the Lincoln Monument, Arlington National Cemetary, Washington Monument, the Pentagon, Air Force Memorial,...so I already had a little bit of a sightseeing tour :)

It certainly is a pretty city and reminds me of Europe: lush vegetation, old buildings and lots of sculptures.

The taxi driver also told me that I am staying at the hotel where Ronald Reagan got shot in 1981. I googled it - and he's right - crazy!
