Washington D.C. – Part 3
Yesterday afternoon I finished my allotted tasks and decided and spend some time at Arlington National Cemetary. I took the Metro over, spent three hours walking around and paying my respects (the placement of over 16,000 wreaths by volunteers was especially touching), and then headed back to D.C. proper. Given I was close, I decided to walk back via the Arlington Memorial Bridge and the western part of Potomac Park (i.e., Lincoln, Vietnam Veterans and WWIIMemorials). Even though my feet were killing me (6.2 miles in dress shoes!), yesterday was the most memorable day here in D.C. While in Arlington, I couldn’t help keep being reminded of its expanse, and the the number laid to rest there…
Looks like a good trip! Have a safe flight home tomorrow.
