It's nice when the world puts some effort in.

Most of the people who know me, know that I like America. I like the people, I like most of the cities, the national pride and the big open spaces.

Of all the bits if the USA I have seen, Washington is my favourite for many reasons and this morning I found a new reason having been to the great falls national park around half an hours drive north and west on the Potomac from the centre of DC. I think the view from there is truly one of the most breathtaking sites I have ever seen. The expanse of water rushing past such a serene environment was just wonderful and something to refresh the most tormented mind.

After that the journey along the interstates down to  the hotel in Waynesboro, VA seemed a bit dull. Tonight's hotel is a Marriott Residence Inn and better than expected. Never stayed in a Marriott before, might just have to do it again.
