DC, the place not the comic book label
DC comics are home to some of the worlds greatest superheros. Batman, Superman and all those others who weren't invented by Stan Lee and Marvel. It was a shame we wouldn't be able to visit the fictional likes of Gotham and Metropolis on this tour but I guess in a way we did. Vancouver stands in as Metropolis on Tv's Smallville so from now on I'm going to tell people I've spent a year in Metropolis working for the Daily Planet. Sounds far more exciting to me.
Anyway, we were in Washington DC, that has seen many real life superheros in it's time. Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luthor King, Forrest Gump and of course George W Bush. We were only there for a day and spent most of the time on the hostel walking tour. We were taken around by a vietnam vet, thats veteran, not someone who looks after the well being of animals.
Just walking around you could feel the city's importance. Lots of statues of people I've never heard of or can't remember
Thumbs up for the White House. Apparantly Mr Bush wasn't home. Who knows what he was doing or where he was?
The White House even has its own minature golf course
This is some kind of big obelisk/tower. I don't have it written down and can't be bothered to look it up. I'm very tired
The Thomas Jefferson memorial or a dark mysterious stranger
The BUNAC dole que
Aah, at last the Linoln memorial. On these steps Martin Luthor King made his famous speach...
And in Tim Burton's reimagining of Planet of the Apes this statue was a giant monkey
Here's where Forrest Gump made his famous speach
All of these soliders are looking in different directions. Never trust someone who doesn't look you in the eye
Another statue of some more soldiers, yeh can't think of anything more to say
The Vietnam wall with everyone named who either died or is still missing from the war
Capitol building, some grass and some trees
My giant finger attempts to destroy Washington DC. Didn't see that one coming did they
So, after little more than 24 hours we hopped on the train to... what does it say in my notes... New York. Yes, the next stop was New York, brilliant.
