This morning we spent two and a half hours walking round Washington viewing all its iconic buildings. The least imposing was the White House surprisingly. We agreed that you could either just look at the buildings and then move on, or spend a few days visiting the many museums etc in depth. We moved on – riding past the Pentagon (and no, Andy didn’t try and crash his bike into it) and onto Richmond where the deep south accents are very prevalent. We did some back roads along the way (at last) and we’re able to view drop dead gorgeous properties in verdant countryside as well as run down hovels. But even the hovels had lots of land. Haven’t discussed whether we’ll spend anytime in Richmond yet – but I guess we’ll do that over dinner.
