15 May 2010 - Washington - Day 3




Our last day in Washington DC. Started off with a visit to the White House. As we were walking towards it we were suddenly stopped by security guards. A few minutes later a motorcade with President Obama rolled past and we were allowed to go on our way.

Next we continued on to Georgetown which is an old historical village which dates back to colonial times. Some nice shops including a fantastic tobacconist with a huge range of handrolled cigars. Bought a couple to smoke on the banks of the Potomac River, just a short walk away. Due to the fine weather we've experienced the last couple of days the people of Washington were out in force enjoying the Potomac River and the many eateries and bars on the banks.



Tomorrow we head for Gettysburg and then back to NY in preparation for catching our long flight home.
