A few facts

After a light snack we went out for a walk. Richard told me a few things about Washington, D. C. These letters are always added to avoid confusion with the state of Washington. The state is very far from the capital, on the West Coast. "D. C." stands for District of Columbia. This special federal district doesn't belong to any of the fifty states. It is very small. So the metropolitan area spills over its boundaries into the neighboring states of Maryland and Virginia.

Rich said that Washington was unlike many other cities in its treatment of tourists. In what way? Most of its museums, galleries and monuments were free.

Quite naturally I tried to compare this city to New York. I noticed that there were no skyscrapers. The law prohibited building structures taller than the Capitol. There were very few people in the street and many more black people there than in New York. Richard said that most of the population was black. He also said that people went to bed very early in Washington. No, it was not like New York at all!
