Then you need to visit the Newseum in Arlington, but I've not had time to visit it myself. One of these days. You're too late. Or too early. It closed a year or so ago, to move to DC. They're now building a new facility near the Department of Canada. I think it's re-opening in 2006. miguel -- Hit The Road!

Washington DC Tour Reccomendation?
THANKS to all the people who made suggestions regarding seeing Washington DC. ============================================= We just returned from four days of walking, touring, walking, museuming, photographing, walking, seeing... We decided to walk from site to site along the MALL from the Capital Building to the Lincoln Memorial. That was two days of walking, visiting some Smithsoniansalong the way. Air and Space was spectacular (me, a science buff). Then we got a Metro pass for $6.00 on the last day and rode to Arlington, Georgetown, and took the Shuttle to the Kennedy Center where we received an almost private tour and got into a lot of rooms, like the Presidential box, that most people don't see. People were friendly and helpful; when we seemed lost, or to be obvious tourists, many started up conversations and were proud to talk about their city. We had a great time, stayed at the inexpensive, clean, but somewhat tired Harrington Hotel. It worked for us but others may find it too drab. We were upgrade to a "suite" that contained a separate room with fridge, microwave, coffee maker, second bathroom, and additional TV. So that was nice for $89 per night. We left our car at their car park for the four days but did have in/out privileges if we wanted. Very nice trip, hardly any other tourists there so nothing was crowded.

THANKS to all the people who made suggestions regarding seeing Washington DC. I'm glad you had a good time, it is also good to hear some about Harrington. I really must stay there some time just to evaluate it. But it's tough since my home is walking distance from a metro station. ;-) Julie -- Julie ********** Check out my Travel Pages (non-commercial) at http://www.dragonsholm.org/travel.htm |
