On Easter Sunday, sannah took us on a walk along Massachusetts Avenue from Dupont Circle to the United States Naval Observatory. This part of the street is nicknamed Embassy Row because of the high density of – well – embassies of countries all over the world. Some of them are situated in nice city houses which were built around 1900, but sannah didn’t want to take a picture of all of them … Click here if you want to see more.

Not an embassy, but another both international and impressive building (and most likely serving a lot of the diplomats living nearby, for example for Turkey or Oman) is The Islamic Center. I have never seen a minaret in the United States before!



Massachusetts Avenue then passes Rock Creek.



The British Embassy’s ground was huge! They had their Union Jack on public display …



… and Winston Churchill was greeting everybody walking by with the Victory sign.



Unfortunately, the Dutch Embassy is located somewhere else, not even close to where we were.

At the St. Alban’s School for boys, we had almost reached our destination for today ...



part 2 coming!
