Увидеть Барака Обаму или его семейс

Увидеть Барака Обаму или его семейство здесь практически невозможно, а вот резиденцию президента США - хоть и через забор - можно разглядеть во всех подробностях. Правда, чего-то особенного от американского особняка №1 ждать не стоит. Это только на картинках Белый дом выглядит пышно и величественно. В реальности же The White House - совсем небольшое строение, смахивающее на один из районных дворцов культуры, разбросанных на просторах нашей страны.

Монумент в честь Джорджа Вашингтона, первого президента США, был открыт в 1888 году и некоторое время оставался самым высоким сооружением на планете, пока его не перегнала парижская Эйфелева башня. Главный символ американской столицы выстроен из гранита, снаружи облицованного мрамором.
Монумент Вашингтона полый, внутри него находятся девять сотен ступеней, и раньше любой желающий мог подняться на расположенную на его верхушке смотровую площадку. После землетрясения в Вирджинии летом 2011 года монумент был закрыт для посещений. На обелиске появилась трещина, и пока специалисты не решат, что с ней делать, монумент можно будет осматривать только снаружи.

Национальная аллея (или «Нэшнл Молл») - это длинный парк с памятниками и фонтанами. Он начинается у Мемориала Линкольна - впечатляющей статуи 16-го президента США - и заканчивается у Капитолия, самого красивого и высокого здания в американской столице. В центре аллеи высится Монумент Вашингтона - мощная четырехгранная колонна, внутри которой работает лифт: можно подняться на смотровую площадку и в деталях рассмотреть аккуратные городские улицы с невысокими домами и симпатичными кафе.

Здание Конгресса США - это не только место работы Сената и Палаты представителей, но и музей, где хранится впечатляющее количество картин, статуй, фресок, исторических документов, редких фотографий и прочих интересных вещей. Попасть в Капитолий гораздо легче, чем в Белый дом. Нужно забронировать тур через сайт Центра посещений (visitthecapitol.gov), а в назначенный день прийти в здание Конгресса налегке, без больших сумок, еды и напитков. С собой обязательно нужно иметь паспорт.
Один из символов Соединенных Штатов, Капитолий, находится в восточной части Национальной аллеи. Правда, строение повернуто к "Нэшнл Молл"... задом. Чтобы увидеть фасад Капитолия, нужно его обойти. Строительство пышного здания (смахивающего на Собор Святого Петра в Ватикане) велось много лет, начиная с конца XVIII века. Здание Конгресса несколько раз перестраивалось, расширялось и "меняло" купол.

Мемориальный комплекс в память о 16-м президенте Соединенных Штатов строился восемь лет и был полностью завершен к 1922 году. Внешне мемориал (он находится на Национальной аллее) напоминает классический греческий храм с колоннадой. Многие детали в нем наполнены глубоким символическим смыслом - так, например, мемориал окружают 36 колонн – ровно столько штатов были объединены перед убийством Авраама Линкольна. Над колоннадой выгравированы названия всех 50 штатов Америки с датами их вступления в союз. Внутри мемориала находится статуя Линкольна. По легенде, автор скульптуры - Даниэль Честер – изобразил руки президента таким образом, что на языке жестов они показывают инициалы А.Л.

музей естественной истории. Место, которое нельзя пропустить: громадный музей с десятками окаменелых скелетов динозавров, заспиртованных морских гадов (среди них - исполинский кальмар, размером с боеголовку), коллекциями редких насекомых и чучелами целой армии млекопитающих - от слонов и бегемотов до кротов и крохотных степных мышей.

Great Falls находятся в 30 км от Вашингтона, Отличный природный аттракцион, куда можно выбраться на целый день, - цепь мощных водопадов и порогов на реке Потомак, шум которых слышен на много миль вокруг. Сами водопады небольшие, но из-за того, что их много, река буквально на глазах «проваливается» вниз. Разница в перепаде высот между первыми и последними порогами достигает 20 метров.

National Cathedral / Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Пауль. При взгляде на этот громадный собор, кажется, будто он сохранился со Средневековья, но на самом деле ему нет и полсотни лет, что по меркам европейского храмостроительства - сущий пустяк. Зато он - шестой по величине в мире и самый красивый в Америке. Здесь был похоронен Вудро Вильсон, и здесь же проходила церемония прощания с Рональдом Рейганом. Внутри Национального кафедрального собора - несколько залов, две сотни витражей, огромный орган, статуи святых и множество нефов. Снаружи - симпатичный сад (Bishop's Garden) с резными скамейками, увитыми плющом беседками, каменными барельефами, чайными розами и целой коллекцией лекарственных растений. Ежегодно, в первую пятницу мая, здесь проводится цветочный фестиваль - важное культурное событие в Вашингтоне.

Мемориал Томаса Джефферсона выглядит как классический пантеон. Строительство белоснежного мемориала с мраморными ступенями, портиками, круговой колоннадой и куполом, завершилось в 1943 году - к двухсотлетию со дня рождения «отца-основателя» Соединенных Штатов. Автором проекта стал известный американский архитектор Джон Поуп, который, к сожалению, скончался, так и не увидев свое детище: комплекс был построен спустя шесть лет после его смерти. Внутри пантеона, помимо статуи Джефферсона, можно увидеть выгравированные на стенах отрывки из знаменитых речей и писем президента.

В адрес старейшего района Вашингтона можно наговорить много комплиментов. Он элитный и степенный, но при этом оживленный и до отказа заполненный молодежью. Такой "микс" в Америке бывает возможен, если где-то неподалеку прячется учебное за
