Georgetown, Washington D.C (Part II-- Around Town)


After visiting the Waterfront, I made my up into town to look around.

The old Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) Canal runs through town. Georgetown was established in 1751 as a tobacco port. To overcome natural obstructions further up the Potomac River, the C&O Canal extended 184 miles from Georgetown to Western Maryland to transport people and goods.
Guess this stuff is everywhere......................
Bridge over the Canal.
Planks and nails of the bridge worn smooth over the years.
Nice sentiment, but, Really?


This flag flies over the Francis Scott Key Park and Star Spangled Banner Monument. 


There's some amazing architecture here.  
You could spend all day wandering the streets trying to take it all in.






Apparently there is always a line at this place.

Thanks for looking...........
