The Monument Capital

Give the USA some credit, they sure know how to build a monument. Washington DC is testament to that. You need all of one or two days to see them all properly, not forgetting all the great museums. Good thing is that the city has a hop on/hop off trolley service that are very efficient and tour right around all the main sights. After a day of checking out monuments you feel as if you have done the city properly. I compare it to Canberra, mainly federal buildings and monuments/memorials/museums except here they are bigger and more elaborate. Check out the photos of the Lincoln Memorial (bottom) and the Washington Monument (top) and you will understand.
