DAY 1

Metro to Union StationMy ambition for the morning was to see the National Mall. I didn't necessarily wantto spend too much time at each memorial. I wanted to snap a picture and keep onmoving. I decided to start by talking the Metro to Union Station and then walkingfrom the Supreme Court to the Lincoln Memorial.

Lincoln Memorial And Reflecting Pool

Transit to Dupont Circle from National MallIt is about a 35 minute walk to Dupont Circle from the National Mall. At this point Iwas pretty hungry and tired of walking around. You can rent a bike and get there inabout 20 minutes with the logistics of the bike rental. I decided to catch a cabinstead.

Tapas at BoqueriaInspired by the energy of the tapas bars and “Cervezerias” that surroundBarcelona’s renowned food market “El Mercado de la Boqueria”, Boqueria serves
