we stayed in Alexandria to save on hotel costs so we were riding the metro back & forth into DC. Took a nighttime tour of the monuments & walked all over during the day.

We were just discussing that we had no idea we were taking our lives in our hands doing that.

Though, Biden was still president when we were there, maybe the place just went all to hell since Trump's been in charge.
