USA: the party goes on

Here I am, once again, and I'm taking a flying start.
Let's start the tour with the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.

Hello 'Discovery'.
The thing is truly huge, much larger then it seems on this photograph.
Do you guys see all the different little panels? Apparently every single one of them has a unique form. Not two of them are the same.

 I say "Jump!" You say "How high?"
Felix Baumgartner did 128,100 feet, about 39 kilometers, and he did it in this little thing.

After culture comes sports.
I joined the active side of life and went kayaking on the lake besides the house. (Yes, that's actually me. Thanks for the picture, mom.)

When it rains it pours.
And in Great Falls it does pour.
They're not the Niagara Falls, but these falls are amazing nonetheless. And this little - cough, cough - man on the right made sure the territory was safe from up high.



Just around the corner on the way to a little piece of heaven (also know as the Botanical Gardens) you have - not no the White House - the Capitol. You could say it's a kind of city hall... and it really makes someone feel small... The little white dot on the steps below, that's supposed to be me (picture on the right).

Now that little piece of heaven I was talking about: the Botanical Gardens. Truly amazing. Tropical plants, medical plants, jungle plants, herbs, ... The one on the right is one of my personal favourites: the red hibiscus.

 


 Of course, when you're in Washington, you have to pay at least a little respect to the big man himself. Mount Vernon is the perfect place to do that (a.k.a. the home of mister George Washington.)







And with that I'm wrapping up for today.
See you around!
