I can't convey quite how unreflective the reflecting pool was. I always thought it worked quite well in a double kind of way: it was made out of water so it physically reflected stuff; it was all peaceful so allowed you to do some metaphorical reflecting. It was nether. It had been drained and was being dug up. There was a lot of plant there. And to add to the noise, there was a fleet of helicopters shipping dignatories in to the White House.
Apart from that Washington had a very impressive world-famous-stuff-what-I-saw to photos-what-I-took ratio. I saw loads of really famous stuff off the telly - The Capitol; the White House; the Lincoln Memorial; the Washington Monument - and didnn't take photos of any of it.
