Why I chose D.C.

In 2008, my dad gave me a trip to Washington D.C. for my 18th birthday. I had never been there before, and I must admit I was a little wary at first. I'd always enjoyed politics and history, but I thought "Is that all there is to D.C.? Museums, government buildings, and tours?" It sounded kind of monotonous to me. But once we arrived one day in mid-March, I realized that D.C. is much more than the monuments. It's a beautiful, cosmopolitan city with the nation's history as its backdrop. I fell in love with the French and Roman inspired architecture, the amazing (and clean) metro system, and Georgetown. 


Through this blog I will dive deeper into the geography of this 'district' and city over the course of this semester. Hope you enjoy!
