It was getting dark and Yunluo and Yan Chenyu also embarked on the way back. Due to the jet lag in the past two days, they were particularly sleepy at around 6 o'clock in the evening. Today, they fell asleep in the car. When they returned home at 8:30, everyone was hungry. After the mushrooms were fried, Yunluo ate them and was responsible for washing the dishes.

After finishing my work, I opened a bottle of Colora beer and took a cigarette on the balcony. I felt so comfortable. It didn’t feel like I was on a trip, but I had the comfort of living at home. I bought beer last night at Liquidshop. In fact, beer is usually available in shops and convenience stores. You must show your ID when buying it. For Yunluo and Yanchenyu tourists, it is to show your passport.

Travel is often a kind of sentiment, because when Yunluo went to these places, before the people arrived, his heart was moved because his favorite movie "North African Spy Shadow", Casablanca is still the place Yunluo wants to go the most, no doubt about it.

In the past, a friend went to Spain and brought a pillow book "Spain Travel Notes". When I went to Paris, I would bring a "Bring a Book to Paris". Before this trip to the United States, Yun Luo also revisited the historical and humanities series "Sweeping Up and Fallen Leaves to Floating Winter" about the United States, and he had a lot of respect for the National Mall of Washington and the Arlington Cemetery.

In fact, it is the same as the people who must go there. They slept until they woke up naturally in the morning, had brunch, and then set off for Washington. It was less than an hour's drive from Gaithersburg in Maryland to Washington. When Yun Luo saw the Washington Monument from afar, he knew that it was not far from the National Mall.

As the capital, Washington is really not a big city. At least New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles in the United States are all more prosperous metropolis, so Washington is definitely a quieter capital. Located in the National Mall in the center of the city, there is a large lawn, and the Tide Lake next to it is a large area of ​​water, which is quiet and far-reaching.

Parking on Seventh Street next to the National Mall, you can't pass Independence Avenue to the central axis of the National Mall. To the west is the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial, to the east is the famous Capitol Hill, which is also a paradise for runners. In "Captain America 2", the hero runs around the reflex pool here.

More tourists from the United States and other countries are the pool in front of Capitol Hill is the best place to take pictures of the Capitol. Unfortunately, the Capitol is resting. The Roman columns under the dome are surrounded by steel scaffolding, which is slightly despicable. After walking around the Capitol, it is no longer possible to go in and visit. Tickets need to be made online in advance.

A few on-site tickets will also be obtained by tourists who get up early. In addition to the Capitol, visits inside the Washington Monument and the White House require online reservations. In contrast, the Lincoln Memorial is much more friendly and open to the public 24 hours a day. After dark, many tourists will sit on the marble steps to relax and enjoy the cool air.

If Megatron hadn't opened 24 hours a day, how could Megatron easily rush into the hall to destroy the Lincoln statue? He was about to return to the parking lot to pick up the car and then go to the Lincoln Memorial. When he passed by the American Museum of Natural History, he went in to find the bathroom. He also saw the famous elephant specimen in the first floor lobby, which is one of the largest African elephants in the world. Yunluo had always thought it was a mammoth.

The movie "Museum Wonderful Night" is filmed here. The cover of the "Washington Museum" collection of "The Washington Museum" is also the elephant. My godmother and grandma are not very interested in the museum. Yun Luo decided to come here to visit the museums, art galleries and botanical gardens around the National Mall, and are also interested enough to travel here for a few days.

Back at the parking car, the tragedy was happening. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were holding another Chevrolet car at the parking position, while Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were Passat. I searched around and Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's car disappeared! The first reaction was that I was towed away by a tow truck. After carefully looking at the sign on the parking meter, I realized that it would be possible to hold it after 2:30.

Yunluo and Yan Chenyu parked at 1:50, and it may have been towed away due to illegal parking, but it is unscientific. Because the meter's coin-operated machine is used normally, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu also bought a parking fee for two hours and collected the money, but there was still a problem!

I called the trailer company and said that I could not find the license plate information of Yunluo and Yan Chenyu. It would be best to ask again after 40 minutes. During this period, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu just sat on a roadside chair to rest. Yunluo also ran around half of the National Mall. He hadn't run for a long time and was a little tight in his physical strength!

After calling again 40 minutes later, there was still no tow information. Yunluo went to determine the parking location. He happened to see a staff member driving a tow truck tow another car, so he went up to ask. When he asked for the first time, he said that he could not find the license plate information of Yunluo and Yan Chenyu. He felt a chill. Could it be that he had been stolen?

Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu were indeed not prepared for the car, so they couldn't accept it! The second time the towing staff went to find his colleague, and finally confirmed that Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu's car was indeed towed!

The fine for illegal parking is $30 to $50, but the towing fee is expensive, at least $100. The labor fee in the United States is too expensive, plus the $40 for taking a ride to the trailer company, this accident directly cost Mushroom mm $200. It was the first time she experienced being towed in her life! After getting the car, it was already 5 o'clock.

Everyone was very depressed and had no intention of visiting again. There was no good parking spot near the Lincoln Memorial Hall. They just took a look from a distance and set off. They returned to the community to catch a gorgeous sunset. Let's make up for the regret of not having a good time today.

Today, Yunluo acted alone, and after getting up, he set out after breakfast, so as to rush to Washington as early as possible and go to the museum. The museum is always the most interesting part of Yunluo's trip. He has been extremely curious about those things with stories since he was a child.

The subway red line starts from the starting station Shadygrove to the metrocenter and then transfers to the blue or orange line, and arrives at the federal day angle in one stop. After crossing the road, it is the back of the American History Museum, and the Natural History Museum on the east side. It starts to visit various exhibition halls under the attention of huge African elephant specimens.

First of all, there are mammals and marine life halls on the first floor. The wild animals who made specimens still have bright eyes. They are lifelike. Among them, the large octopus specimens in the ocean hall remind people of how much squid shreds cost. Such a large octopus should make a fortune.

The "Stone" Pavilion on the second floor also allowed Yun Luo to see it for nearly an hour. The stones are full of various meteorites, rocks, crystal ores, metal ores and various gems.

There are five more impressive ones: 1. Meteorite fragments that are older than the solar system. 2. fluorescent stones of various colors. When the lights in the glass in the exhibition hall are extinguished, they seem to have entered the world of Alice in Wonderland. 3. Gold Mine 4. Hope Blue Diamond 5. Diamond necklace given to his wife by Napoleon.

The Butterfly Hall in the Rainforest Museum requires additional money and queues. If you don’t go in, you can browse the Animal Fossil Hall. The human skeleton is said to be Glover Crantz himself, and he is also anthropologist who devotes his whole life to savage research.

In addition, there were special exhibitions of Egyptian mummies during this period, and three genuine mummies were exhibited! We were lucky. Last year, we didn’t have the ticket to the Egyptian Museum to see the corpses that had been dried for thousands of years, but now we can see them in the United States.

I don’t feel terrified when I see the mummy mummy Yun Luo. Instead, I feel timid. I feel timid when I see everything about Egypt. The first floor at the entrance of Constitution Avenue is also the downstairs of the main entrance of the National Mall, and the skull of the Tyrannosaurus Trex representing American dinosaur fossils, and a stone statue on Easter Island, which is being restored.

You can also see a complete triceratops fossil through the crack of the door. When Yun Luo walked out of the Natural History Museum with unsatisfactory intentions, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon, which was seriously exceeded the expected time. Then I spent another hour visiting the Aerospace Museum. After all, Yun Luo was also from a related professional class. You must always see the aircraft that once appeared in textbooks.

In the end, the National Art Gallery was left with less than an hour. Yun Luo only regretted that he had not gotten up earlier in the morning. In this way, he could only find time to come to Washington to visit the art gallery after a trip to New York and return to Maryland. The art gallery was very large, even if he only saw some treasure-level paintings of the museum.

It takes half a day. Yunluo can only find famous paintings that must be read one by one according to priority. It feels a bit like the outdoor directional activities for training during work. Leonardo da Vinci's "ginevrade'benci", Van Gogh's wheat field, Van Gogh's self-portrait, Monet's Lulang Cathedral, and Picasso's fa fans lysaltimbanques.

Louis David's girl in white is also beautiful. If you don't know Louis David, you should know the famous painting called "The Death of Mara". Yes, it was painted by him.

After the museum closed, the sun was shining in the evening, so I started to rush to the National Mall. I first went to the Washington Monument and looked up at the ancient Egyptian obelisk that represents freedom and independence. A circle of star and striped flags fluttered around it. I recalled the cost of freedom mentioned in "Worry in the Deep History". I was also quite touched.

ps: There are no other buildings in the entire Washington that exceed the obelisk! Then, after walking around the Tide Lake, I saw the golden light of the sunset shining into the hall of the Jefferson Memorial Hall, illuminating the bronze statue of Thomas Jefferson, the founding father of the United States that Yun Luo admires the most.

Jefferson's philosophy is to be a large people and a small government. He has always insisted on strictly abide by and interpreting the Constitution, and advocated restricting the government's power and scale and giving the people more freedom.

Next is the Franklin Memorial and Martin Luther King Memorial Park, both on the shore of the Tide Lake. Finally, we return to the westernmost section of the central axis - the Lincoln Memorial. I won’t introduce much about Lincoln President Yun Luo. In addition to Washington, the founding father, Lincoln has always been the most respected president in American history.

Later, I went to SSP Ringfield on Highway 66 to visit the place where Lincoln lived as a lawyer for a long time during his lifetime. The Lincoln Memorial Hall is also the place where tourists are most concentrated. Perhaps most people will come here to rest when they are tired of visiting, leisurely watching the whole picture of the National Mall and the monument reflected in the pool.

Today's sunset is also very beautiful. I was fortunate to photograph scarlet clouds at the Lincoln Memorial. If you love someone, take him to New York. If you hate someone, take him to Newyork, as the capital of the world, its charm cannot be described in just a few words.

Yunluo is not a person who likes metropolis, let alone New York, a city that is already crowded and dirty in the United States. But Yunluo has to fall in love with New York because Yunluo likes "Friends", "Sleeping in Seattle", "When Harry Meets Sally", and "National Treasure". Just like the Casablanca mentioned before.

Yunluo is the kind of person who often becomes obsessed with a place and is looking forward to it because of a book or a movie. He may even turn around and watch some related movies and books in order to have more expectations for a place. He vomits blood here and recommends a movie called "Cairo Time". It's very awesome!

There is a lot of nonsense. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu did not drive by themselves during their trip to New York. 1. It is tiring to drive, and the toll is not cheap. 2. Parking in New York is troublesome and expensive, so I chose to go buses. The hotel I booked is near Times Square in Manhattan. It is called nycrow. It includes more than 600 yuan in taxes for two nights. It is a bit expensive. But this is New York!

Of course living in Brooklyn or Queens will be much cheaper, but it will take a long time to travel every day and there will be a lot of ground transportation expenses. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu only have a 3-day trip, so it is better to take care of the convenience of travel.

It was around 1 pm when I arrived in New York. Before I got off the bus, I established my first impression of New York, which was dense! Yunluo could even imagine that he transformed into a Hubble telescope and aimed at the area of ​​Manhattan. What he would see was such a spectacular and neat reinforced concrete forest, because of the tall buildings and narrow streets.

It is difficult to feel the sunshine on the road even at noon during the day. The garbage on the road is much more than that in Washington and Maryland. Pedestrians run red lights and vehicles do not avoid pedestrians. The traffic design in New York is reasonable. The north-south Ave (5thave is the famous Fifth Avenue) is a two-way lane, and the east-west st direction is a one-way line.
