Alexandria, Virginia

Now is the time to recall a bit on some of the places we visited during US trip last night. The staff of the hotel we stayed at Arlington, Virginia, recommended us to visit Alexandria, an old town. There was even a magazine written about that. So we decided to visit it on our second last day. Well, it is not that special if we compare to Europe. But it is quite unique compared to other places we visited. That is because the town is concentrated, the shops and restaurants are stretched across the street, but the buildings are not tall like in Manhattan.

So my wife, my friend, and I enjoyed strolling there looking at the neighborhood including a visit to a Gap outlet. At the end of the street, we could see the Potomac river and took photo. We also enjoyed eating at a Ben & Jerry’s shop.

That is one of nice things in traveling. Aside from getting the chance to visit famous cities, we get to see a smaller town that is equally nice. Just like we liked it a lot when we visited places like Dalat, Hallstatt, and Cesky Krumlov.
