Washington Travel Blogs

Background: Britain's American colonies broke with the mother country in 1776 and were recognized as the new nation of the United States of America following the Treaty of Paris in 1783. During the 19th and 20th centuries, 37 new states were added to the original 13 as the nation expanded across the North American continent and acquired a number of overseas possessions. The two most traumatic experiences in the nation's history were the Civil War (1861-65) and the Great Depression of the 1930s. Buoyed by victories in World Wars I and II and the end of the Cold War in 1991, the US remains the world's most powerful nation state. The economy is marked by steady growth, low unemployment and inflation, and rapid advances in technology.

We started the day early with a nice breakfast. While enjoying Sajis hospitality we made plans the party. We (Anna, Claudia and Urska) started to make a decoration for the whole house and we shopped some pies. Guests started coming in the early afternoon and started cooking and preparing the dinner. The ones that came later brought ready made stuff. Each guest had a task to fullfill, like bringing a salat, turkey, water pipe, potato, cranberry souce, etc. The party was couchsurfing gathering so we were very multicultural group. Just some nationalities that we can remember now are: Belorusi [View Full Entry]

While the globe is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and Sesame Street’s 40th birthday, I will be paying tribute to the millions of men and women who have served/serving in the United States Armed Forces on Veterans Day, November 11, 2009. I shared this summer of how I ended up in America. What’s more interesting is that four of five of my siblings served in the US Armed Forces, 1975 to 1990. I would love to say it was out of our patriotic duty for America welcoming us to this land of opportunity, but it [View Full Entry]

Actions Against Continued War and Torture - Washington DC I just moved from Florida to Maryland and I needed to get out of the house and take some photos. So the idea was to get out, see something different, and just use the time off to improve my photography skills. Not just the average portrait or landscape, but insted a public event. After some searching online I came upon a protest/demonstration in DC. It seemed well organized and the props were pretty good however they seemed to be missing a mega phone.The prisioners in jumpsuits with hoods was an excelent choi [View Full Entry]

Friday 16th Another travelling day with flights from Lima, to Panama City and then onto Washington. We flew by the entrance to the Panama Canal and saw all the boats lining up for the trip through. Panama City looked quite impressive with lots of sky-scapers. We got to DC and our hotel, the Washington Plaza, at 3.30am!!….and were very glad to crash out in very, very comfy beds. Saturday 17th It seemed the Welsh weather had caught us up and decided it was going to rain all day. Nevertheless we walked 15 minutes from the hotel to the White House and [View Full Entry]

Ok so its that time again for another yarn and tale of my US adventure this time to DC sans parents and Chinese tour company. It was time again for 'we' to travel again, yes superstar Jeremy was back onboard as we headed to DC for the defence funded trip which would put us back in Aus mode for at least 3 days. The trip started off in our travelling shirts which have "that's how we roll" embossed on them. Early start saw us off to the airport and someone's bag being overweight by a pound (half a kilo). My bag [View Full Entry]

My first day of travel! Flew from Detroit metro to Baltimore. Thinking I would save 30-40 dollars on my travel by not flying into Dulles (where im flying out to Brazil) I found out that the shuttle from Balt to Dulles is 65 dollars plus tip. I guess my plan didnt work. So much for being cheap. Got in to my hotel and headed off the the Smithsonian air museum. Only way to describe it is WOW!!... This place is without a doubt one of the single most impressive places I have ever been. I wish I had 3 days to [View Full Entry]

We feared it would be raining all day long yet again, especially since it was drizzling when we left the house, but Saturday turned out to be a gorgeous, albeit hot, clear day in DC. As we now know we won't be living in this area for much longer, my husband and I took a day off from packing and moving preparations to explore a few places in Washington, DC that we had yet to visit, such as the National Archives. We did take a quick stroll through the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden, which is across the street from [View Full Entry]
