The Washington DC Trip 24-28 of June 2000.

I went to Washington DC in the periode specified above with a colleague of mine.
 

My dear colleague, Susan.
The most beautiful memorial in my mind was the new Frankling D. Roosevelt memorial. Although me and Susan went through it the wrong way... The memorial is constructed in chronological order. The water used in the memorial actually served another purpose in addition to be a part of the memorial, namely to take away from the noise made by the aeroplanes that land at the airport nearby. Clever. Oracle is not doing too well these days. So I am doing some practicing to stand in a bread line. 
The birthplace of USA. We have seen this in the movies. (Forest Gump pops to mind)
This is the Vietnam memorial. It is "just" a wall with all the names of fallen US soldiers. In the picture you can see the years 1959 and 1975, the start and the end of the war. For me 1975 was the start of my life. I love you, mom and dad.
The air and space museum. Just fantastic. 
This section is meant to show my boss the theory behind flying. He hates to fly, that beeing said, he is also a guy that has flown from Boston to Japan! The first four slides here should give you the basic theory. But hey, who belivies in theory anyway. 
The gray thing on the table blows out air. Notice that the "globe" is actually in midair. 
These two pictures are from the Holocast museum. They show tiles that kids have made banning Nazism.

 

Ohhh, by the way the reason we went to Washington DC in the first place was to attend a course about, ... hmmm... a course anyway. :)

Back to hompage.
