April 2002When dropping off Gunilla's parents, we spent two days in Washington D.C. 
Breakfast in D.C., 2-APR-2002.
The Vietnam monument, 2-APR-2002.
The Washington monument (below), 169 metres high, was built between 1848 and 1888. The Civil War delayed its completion. 
Cherry trees and the Washington monument, 2-APR-2002.
The famous cherry trees along the Potomac river are blooming in March to April. The trees were originally a gift from Japan to the US. In 1912, 3,020 trees were shipped from Japan to Washington. These were planted in the East Potomac Park, the Tidal Basin (West Potomac Park) and around the Washington monument. Now there are 3,750 trees (all according to Cherry Trees of Washington).
