Palli löömine Ühendriikide Ülemkohtu marmorist vastu tunneb erinev, kui tavalise ääre vastu löömine. See 18 auguga ring toimub Washingtoni tegelikel tänavatel, kus kaart on tegelik linn. Augud on ehitatud tegelikest vaatamisväärsustest ja pall liigub nende vahel 6,8 miili, kasutades aeg-ajalt 32 portaali, et ületada vahemaid. Skip tunneb neid kõnniteid ja nurki nii hästi, et suudab teed juhatada.
Vaadake Ameerika Ühendriikide Ülemkohtu valget marmorit. See hoone on föderaalse kohtusüsteemi kõrgeim kohus. See asutati 1789. aastal ja sellel on ülim apellatsiooniline jurisdiktsioon osariigi kohtuasjade üle, mis on seotud föderaalse või USA põhiseadusliku õigusega. Ma olen märganud, et rahvahulgad näevad alati veidi formaalsemad välja, kui nad sissekäigu poole kõndivad. Kohusel on ka algne jurisdiktsioon asjade üle, mis puudutavad avalikke ministreid, konsuleid, suursaadikke ja neid, milles osariik on osapooleks.
Ameerika Ühendriikide Kapitooliumi algus oli 1793. aastal. Sellest ajast alates on sellest saanud Ameerika Ühendriikide Kongressi asukoht ja see asub National Malli idaosas Capitol Hillil. Saate välja valida hoone uusklassikalise arhitektuuristiili, mis ulatub 88 meetri kõrgusele. Olen leidnud, et vaade ümbritsevalt mäelt on üks parimaid kohti, kust leida oma asukoht linnas, eriti kui proovite navigeerida malli laial avatud aladel. See on vaatepilt, mis määratleb pealinna silueti.
Let me show you the Thomas Jefferson Building. This Beaux-Arts library building was built between 1890 and 1897 and is a National Historic Landmark. It serves as a building of public administration and reaches a height of 59.4 meters. You can pick out the specific architectural influence from the work of John L. Smithmeyer and Paul J. Pelz. While it was established long ago, the building was named in honor of Thomas Jefferson in 1980. I've seen plenty of fancy ledges here, but the scale of this place is what really stands out.
Washington Union Station is a National Treasure designed by architect Daniel Burnham. You can pick out the influence of the City Beautiful movement and classical architecture in its Beaux-Arts style. Beyond its looks, it functions as a central, dead-end railway station. It is one of the busiest railroad stations in North America, ranking 13th. I've noticed the crowds here are always moving, which makes sense given it is the second-busiest station for Amtrak. It opened in 1907, though its inception was in 1908.
The Victims of Communism Memorial is a sculpture located in Washington, D.C. It is positioned at the intersection of Massachusetts and New Jersey Avenues and G Street, NW.

This opening took place on the 20th anniversary of President Ronald Reagan's "tear down this wall" speech. The memorial serves as a permanent place of remembrance for those lost under communist regimes, situated in the heart of the nation's capital.

Ameerika Ajaloo Rahvusmuuseum on ajaloomuuseum, mis asub Washingtonis. See on osa Smithsoniani Instituudist ja loodi 1964. aastal. Siin saab näha originaalset Star-Spangled Bannerit. Muuseumihoone on projekteerinud arhitektid Walker O. Cain ja McKim, Mead & White. See on populaarne sihtkoht, mida igal aastal külastab 4 100 000 inimest. Olen märganud, et rahvahulku võib olla päris palju, aga eksponaadid on vaatamist väärt.
Ameerika Ühendriikide Rahvusarhiiv asub pealinna südames ja on 1934. aastal asutatud riiklik arhiiv. Seda haldab Rahvusarhiiv ja dokumendihalduse amet, mis on Ameerika Ühendriikide föderaalvalitsuse sõltumatu asutus täidesaatevas harudes. NARA ülesanne on valitsuse ja ajalooliste dokumentide säilitamine ja dokumenteerimine ning avalikkuse juurdepääsu nendele dokumentidele suurendamine. Nad vastutavad ka föderaalsete määruste, presidendi direktiivide ja Kongressi seaduste autoriteetsete koopiade säilitamise ja avaldamise eest. Olen näinud mõnda turisti, kes on siin säilitatud tohutu koguse dokumentide tõttu veidi ülekoormatud.
The National Air and Space Museum is an aviation museum in Washington. It is dedicated to human flight and space exploration and has been around since its inception in 1946. As part of the Smithsonian Institution, it is a major draw for the city, welcoming 6,700,000 annual visitors. I have spent many hours watching the skies from the rooftops, but the history preserved inside this building is something you have to see for yourself. It is a massive operation that manages to bring the story of the stars down to earth for everyone to see.

I've noticed the crowds are always humming with excitement here.
Andrew W. Mellon donated a substantial art collection and funds for construction to create the National Gallery of Art. This art museum in Washington, D.C. was privately established in 1937 for the American people by a joint resolution of the United States Congress. You can find it on the National Mall, situated between 3rd and 9th Streets at Constitution Avenue NW. It is a popular destination that sees 4,200,000 annual visitors.

Let me show you the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium. This public building had its inception in 1934 and was designed by architect Arthur Brown, Jr. You can pick out the Greek Revival architecture style as you approach the site at 1301 Constitution Avenue NW. It stands 25.4 meters high and functions as an event venue. It is a National Register of Historic Places contributing property. I've noticed the government owns the place, which makes it a steady landmark in the city.
You can find the National Theatre in downtown Washington, D.C., situated just east of the White House. This theatre building first began in 1835 and now functions as a venue for live stage productions. If you look inside, you can pick out a seating capacity of 1,676. While the name might suggest otherwise, it is not a government-funded national theatre; instead, it operates as a private, non-profit organization. I've noticed the crowds here always seem eager for the curtain to rise.
Benjamin Franklin is the namesake for this garden square in downtown Washington, D.C. Known also as Franklin Park, it provides a green space for the city center. The square is bounded by K Street NW to the north, 13th Street NW on the east, I Street NW on the south, and 14th Street NW on the west. If you are arriving by train, the McPherson Square station of the Washington Metro serves the area. I usually find the street corners here a great spot to watch the downtown crowds move by.
