The capitol of USA! This was the second stop on our road
trip on US East coast. The weather continued to be super good with the
heat wave on, and the city bathed in sun.
There are plenty of motels and hotels to choose from while driving
in USA. However, when we arrived to Washington D.C. in the evening, we
found more or less the last hotel with rooms in the city. Every other
place seemed to be way beyond our price range, or booked. Even this
hotel had rates for the last free rooms three times higher than what we
used to pay for a typical room. It was tempting to just pay and stay in
the city, but we made the right choice when we decided to try our luck
and drive 15-20 minutes out of the city to see if any motels show
up.
We headed down the Interstate-66 (which we first mistook as the
historical-66, not knowing it starts in Chicago) and spotted motel
signs in a local town of Vienna. The motel was small but comfortable
enough, and it was well equipped with a mexican restaurant just next to it.
This was more we had hoped for!
In the morning we headed back to Washington D.C, took a tour here
and there to see the major attractions, and finally headed back to our
rental car and continued towards Niagara Falls. And yes, George was at
home (as the marine guard was at his post).
