We started the day with the most important - breakfast. Right after one of us (not Scott) had finished the working day. I had wanted to have some good arepas since Las Vegas. I consulted the Google and found out that the best arepas in the capital are made on the Union Market. That's where we went. With Uber to the metro station, from there the metro to the city and after some walking we reached the market. The market was filled with delicious food stands, but still remembering those great arepas from Vegas, I only had eyes and nose for ArepaZone. We took each one and also some fried cheese sticks and let's just say - I will continue the search for best arepas somewhere nearer than Vegas. We shared the table with two girls, who were like talking about traveling and since of of them had just like recently visited Japan the other one like seriously wanted to know, how it was there. Actually there were way more "likes", but I like seriously can't find a enough slots in my sentences to put those. Anyway, the one who had just returned from Japan, excitedly told the other one, how she met a guy from Malta and another one from Yugoslavia there... History and geography are clearly not her strongest sides.
The map reader (me...) knew exactly that the 6th street would take us with 30 minutes straight to Capitol Hill. Once we had already walked almost half an hour and still found ourselves passing waste management stations and football stadiums that clearly couldn't be seen as downtown of the US capital, it was clear that the map reader was reading the map wrong way. We called Uber, drove the walked way back and then some more until we reached the Capitol Hill. We took a look at the Capitol Hill, Supreme Court and Senat House, where they were just deciding, whether the guy, harassing women while being wasted, would be suitable for the honorable judge role or not. Turned out that harassing women and lying would not be seen as obstacles.
We moved forward direction Old Post Office Tower, where they apparently had the most breathtaking views over the city. Just before reaching the tower we noticed another, moving sightseeing object - albino squirrel. Obviously also the squirrels are white near the White House. We went up the tower that was surrounded by a fancy hotel that belongs to the current president. The views were indeed amazing and the tower was also open to all the winds.
We made our way to the W Hotel, which rooftop bar offered more astonishing views (this time over the monuments of different presidents) and had some drinks. Considering the exclusivity of the terrace (among others the White House) it was rather surprising that we didn't need to give out the education budget of Burma for those two drinks.
From W we walked over to the Washington Monument, looking at some t-shirts on the way, where the top one had a picture of Obama with the word "Hope", the middle one picture of Trump and the lower one the word "FBI". From Washington Monument it was a nice walk to the Lincoln Monument and from the pool in front of it we could enjoy the reflection of the Washington one.
As especially sightseeable, but way less touristy the neighbourhood Barracks Rows was mentioned. It was slightly hipster and reminded me of Telliskivi area in Tallinn. We walked around some and returned to the Union Market to have dinner. Since one of us (not Scott) couldn't decide, what to order, there was a point when there wasn't much to order at all anymore, because those few that were even slightly interesting in the dinnertime, had started to close down. At the same time Scott was eating his expensive grilled cheese. Finally I was able to make up my mind and ordered fish and chips that was delicious.
