In America
I'm off the Washington tomorrow for the first time to see the sights. Blogging may be a bit lighter over the next week.
Conor I strongly recommend the Lincoln memorial ( team of rivals could be flight reading?) and though you see it's image so often I still found looking at the white house impressive. If you have the time pop over to Old Town Alexandria, lovely little waterside town with an excellent old fashioned ice cream parlour at the bottom of king street. Of course all this assumes it is DC you are visiting & not the state.
