law students. I struck out on my own last night to see some of the
monuments, and I discovered that this is a pretty cool place. The
Jefferson memorial was definitely my favorite of the ones that I went
to. Even though I cant remember the words right this moment, the
inscription running around the top of the inside was a pretty good
one. These monuments really carry a lot of history, and they are kind
of intimidating in a way. The Washington memorial was also pretty
neat. When I got there, the US Marine band was doing a show and they
were a really good band. After the Washington, I went down to the WW2
and it was pretty neat as well. Its one of the newest memorials in DC.
The Lincoln was after that and it really kind of reminds you of the
Parthenon. It was probably the most beautiful of the monuments that I
saw. The reflecting pool is really some nasty water filled with duck
crap but it looks nice at night from a distance. The Vietnam and
Korean War memorials are right next to the Lincoln as is the standard
arrival for all planes going into Reagan Int. Overall, DC is a place
you need to dedicate about a week to.
