At the Lincoln Memorial. I loved reading the Emancipation Proclamation carved out on the wall. I never thought visiting historical places was cool. There's a lot to admire about the place. The size and the architecture are amazing.

The first thing I thought about (the voice in my head took to a Southern accent) was "Forrest Gump was here."

This was my most favorite place to visit on my tour in Washington. You can find this right at the Vietnam War Memorial, the message is sadly true and simple that it's too hard to ignore. More than a 100,000 people died (at least 47,000 US soldiers) because of the Vietnam War. Freedom is not free. Think about that.

Candid moment near the Long Pointy Object. (I've been referring to the Washington Monument as that since I visited it.)

Mang Jose takes on the dreaded, er, Ninja. I had to stop in mid-air while Lem took the photo.
