Today we walked to the Lincoln Memorial. We also visited the World War II Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial, and Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Close by
 |
| Whitte House |
we viewed the Thomas Jefferson Memorial and
Washington Monument. The Thomas Jefferson Memorial overlooks the Tidal Basin as will the soon to open the Dr. Martin Luther King Monument. The reflecting pool between the Lincoln Memorial and
Washington Monument was
 |
| Garden near Tital Basin |
under reconstruction and scheduled completion will be next year.
The afternoon was spent visiting the
 |
| World War II Memorial |
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum a must see if visiting
Washington, DC. It’s impossible for me to understand how a nation could endorse a mad man like Hitler and allow the extermination of Jews and any other groups of peoples he found inferior!
 |
| Vietnam Memorial |
While returning to the marina we passed the local fish market and purchased a bag of fried shrimp – then returned to our boat for
 |
| World War II Memorial |
dinner.
Tomorrow we plan to visit
Arlington National Cemetery.
