I am very happy with this view because we poor people never get a chance to reach Washington D.C. but I get a chance to see this place by mail. I wish If god give a chance then I will get a chance to reach there.
Thank you
Thanks again for the information
Where did you put your belongings prior to the White House tour, since they are so strict about taking in even a handbag? Are there lockers near by?
The answer is that we left our things in our hotel room and took only our metro cards and drivers licenses with us. Then we immediately returned to the hotel, changed clothes into something more comfortable and went to the zoo. (We had dressed a bit nicer out of respect for the history/importance of the White House.) I'd looked into lockers but couldn't locate any. At one time there were lockers available for rent at Union Station but I believe they were closed after 9/11 and besides, Union Station is nowhere near the White House so it was just more convenient to return to the hotel. This is one of the main reasons I scheduled the trip to the zoo for that afternoon too... It's in Georgetown so returning to the hotel didn't feel as much like wasted time as it would have if we'd wanted to do more sightseeing in DC. -- I hope you enjoy your trip!
So cool to reap knowledge from your travels & experiences! Thanks for taking time to chronicle!
