What most people from D.C don't do...

So I was born and raised in Washington D.C and now live in Maryland (about 20 min from D.C), and for the past week I have been doing something most native D.C’ers don’t ever do; sight seeing. My cousins from Argentina are in and for the past week I have been playing tour guide thus far going to The National Gallery of Art, The Air and Space Museum, Arlington National Cemetery, The Kennedy Center, and some modern museum of art whose name escapes me at the moment.

I was seeing the city of my birth from outsider’s eyes, looking at the structure of the city, the vibrancy of the people, and the cleanliness of our metro system in an entirely new way. Although I still have hopes to work and live in the U.K, I must say that the Washington D.C area is my 2nd choice to live and work in. I don’t think I am being biased; I have traveled to and lived in some major cities on the east coast. While I love Boston and New York (and think Baltimore and Philadelphia are shit holes, sorry) D.C has everything you could want neatly packed into a smaller, cleaner version of all the rest. There is a great nightlife with flavors for everyone from a poetry jazz section, to upscale fine dining, to trendy younger scenes, to Latin flavor in some corners.

I really do love this city and decided to post some pictures of my adventures thus far.
