Washington D.C. City Tour
 
Namaste, and Washington main swagatam. We have a delightful three (3) hour tour for you, in which we will share Washington DC, the Capitol of the United States with you in a way we hope will be fun and entertaining.

Our tour guide will meet our visitors at a designated place on the National Mall, the grassy area designed for museums and recreation, where we will board the bus, and begin our trip from stop to stop, each of which we'll explore together, and share the history, some interesting facts, and even our similarities in culture.

Our first stop will be the U.S. Capitol Building, where our congress, which is made up of our Senate and our House of Representatives, meets. It's here that they legislate, to introduce and vote on bills that might become laws.

Next, we'll see the front door of the White House, where the President works and lives. We'll learn about the history of the "executive branch", the branch that executes, or carries out the law that congress has passed. The building’s interesting history will also be talked about, and we’ll even see an example of "free speech" that is always shown here.

Our next stop will be the Lincoln Memorial, dedicated to our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln. President Lincoln, our 16th President, who is known for his victory in the Civil War, was also as an example of honesty, integrity, and kindness. By keeping our Union of states together, it was possible later to free countless enslaved people by ending the "institution" of slavery forever. This memorial, from the very day of its dedication in 1922, has represented equality and freedom in a very powerful way.

Our tour covers very powerful, beautiful, and important sites in America, both past and present, showing where we've been, what we hope to achieve, and what we hope to become!
