It is worth saing that there are 5 Washington cities in US, so speaking about capital they say Washington DC (district of Columbia), or even better just say DC.
White house
There are always people striking in front of it. One woman is living their more than 30 years.
Kennedy center - main concert hall, builded up after Cold war. Different countries took part in it's erection. Red carpet from Holland and Italian beautiful chandeliers
Washington's Cathedral is amazing, it is all decorated by gems and gold. It is the most expensive cathedral in the world.
Pictures unfortunately doesn't reflect it's real beauty
We visited House of Russian Ambassador during Stalin's times.
During two years this men absolutely officially exported out of Russia so many treasures. Tsar's porcelain enough to serve 3 meals a day during a week, it would be everytime different... Icon of Saint George which was the official icon of the Battle of Borodino and chalice of Alexander Nevsky and many many other things.
In the Smithsonian Institute's museums we saw:
Connected Russian and USA spacecrafts Appolo-Soyuz
One of the most comprehensive art collections. I had not known that Degas was not only a painter but also a sculptor
Gingko biloba tree leave is an official symbol of DC. Isn't it nice?
Walking around we came across main building of American Red Cross
American squirrels
Goodbye Washington DC, I hope to see you again!
Are the American squirrels different from the Russian squirrels?
