Yesterday we traveled a lot. Rosa, a friend, brought us to a town called Alexandria. It's an old harbor city with a rich history. Robert E. Lee, the General of the Confederates in the Civil War lived there. We had lunch in a Tavern where George Washington and John Adams used to visit. The town is carefully preserved, and many house are in the old style, really pretty. Next to his Tavern we also saw the church where Washington used to go, and the house he used to live in (before he moved to a bigger place on a hill near the city Washington).

In the afternoon we went to Baltimore; a city north of Washington. We saw the harbor there, which is a beautiful place with many bars and cafes. Regular readers will know that I love books and reading. There was a wonderful, huge bookstore there, with 5 stories of books, books and books.

Today I'll read my travel guide of Washington, and after lunch (here in the World Bank) I'll go and see some other touristic things.
