After checking out the Great Falls, Mukhsim and I took the advice of my friend Dmitriy and went to Mount Vernon – George Washington’s plantation and place of residence in Alexandria, VA.
It was a cold and windy day and the crappy images coming out of my camera were making the day look even worse. I took a few pictures here and there, after which we took off to a nearby Afghan restaurant (more on that later).
Anyway, here is the main view of the house:
This was inside the entrance building:
Building in the gardens:
One of George Washington’s slaves:
Food storage:
A view of the east side of the house:
A large tree behind the house facing the Potomac river:
The tour inside the house was great, but I could not photograph anything – digital photography is strictly prohibited for whatever reason (I know, it sucks!). Oh well, I didn’t have a super wide-angle lens with me anyway…
