The historic King Street in Old Town, Alexandria, Image Courtesy – before, this was a big deal! That was my introduction of Washington D.C. We were literally driving through history and for someone who had never stepped foot in Washington D.C. ![]() We were in the hometown of the ‘First President of the United States’ the founding father of the nation and the very individual whom Washington city was named after. The feeling remarkably settled in as we drove through the historic neighbourhood of Old Town, Alexandria and my cousin (who was also my host in DC) casually pointed out that George Washington lived here. Nothing like a ‘Former President of the United States’ to remind you that you are about to encounter America’s history at its very core.

And, believe me, Washington DC does not disappoint! I had the amazing opportunity of visiting Washington DC back in 2016 and the experience left me spellbound and completely captivated. ![]() A great nation demands a capital that is equally enigmatic, historic and that which portrays all the spectacular qualities of the nation itself! And if that nation happens to be the ‘United States of America’ then the capital has a huge responsibility of mirroring exactly what the ‘Land of the Free’ stands for. ![]()
