Sunday afternoon building crawl
Sunday was a bit of a writeoff. Washington DC is really a dump of a "city" - there is no "central business district", it's kinda like Canberra. And Sunday mornings are completely dead. Almost nothing is open before 10am with most stuff not opening til midday. I had nothing better to do so I walked several kilometres from one end of town to the other - to Georgetown. Then caught a bus back to the tourist area and took some more photos of buildings. The only interesting highlight of the day was seeing the original Magna Carta, Declaration of Independance, Constitution and Bill of Rights in the National Archives. Oh the other thing is, you can't walk more than a block or two at a time without being kicked off the footpath and told to walk on the other side. Every second intersection and footpath is torn up with orange tape around it. I don't know if it's like that all the time, but I found it rather frustrating.
