???? ROAD TRIP ACROSS USA 2018 ❗❗❗
???? I had dream to drive across the USA, from coast to coast. Of course, the preparations were essential, because I have never been to USA and this country was completely unknown to me. Approximately six months before the road trip each day of the trip was thoroughly planned.
???? During the preparations there were plenty of questions regarding the car rental, accommodation, food cost, whether you need a visa, insurance, where to book an affordable flight tickets from Europe, etc. Summer 2018 I made this dream a reality. The trip was 5 week long and we managed to cover more than 11 000 km across 18 states. Our starting point was New York ???? and the end destination was Los Angeles. What happened in-between is hard to put in words, so I tried to video record as much as possible to depict this epic road trip through video filming.
???? The purpose of this video is informative and entertainment. Every Sunday starting from 30.12.2018 I will be uploading videos from this road trip.
????If you like the video please ❗share❗ it with your friends! ????

Driving Downtown - Washington District of Columbia USA - Episode 24.
Starting Point: 16th Street - .
Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States. The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast. The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Congress and the District is therefore not a part of any U.S. state.
The states of Maryland and Virginia each donated land to form the federal district, which included the pre-existing settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria. Named in honor of George Washington, one of the United States' founding fathers and the leader of the American Continental Army who won the Revolutionary War, the City of Washington was founded in 1791 to serve as the new national capital. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia; in 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the District.
Washington had an estimated population of 672,228 as of July 2015. Commuters from the surrounding Maryland and Virginia suburbs raise the city's population to more than one million during the workweek. The Washington metropolitan area, of which the District is a part, has a population of over 6 million, the sixth-largest metropolitan statistical area in the country.
The centers of all three branches of the federal government of the United States are in the District, including the Congress, President, and Supreme Court. Washington is home to many national monuments and museums, which are primarily situated on or around the National Mall. The city hosts 176 foreign embassies as well as the headquarters of many international organizations, trade unions, non-profit organizations, lobbying groups, and professional associations.
A locally elected mayor and a 13‑member council have governed the District since 1973. However, the Congress maintains supreme authority over the city and may overturn local laws. D.C. residents elect a non-voting, at-large congressional delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives, but the District has no representation in the U.S. Senate. The District receives three electoral votes in presidential elections as permitted by the Twenty-third Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1961.
Tourism
Tourism is Washington's second largest industry. Approximately 18.9 million visitors contributed an estimated $4.8 billion to the local economy in 2012.[128] The District also hosts nearly 200 foreign embassies and international organizations such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organization of American States, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the Pan American Health Organization. In 2008, the foreign diplomatic corps in Washington employed about 10,000 people and contributed an estimated $400 million annually to the local economy.[81]
The District has growing industries not directly related to government, especially in the areas of education, finance, public policy, and scientific research. Georgetown University, George Washington University, Washington Hospital Center, Children's National Medical Center and Howard University are the top five non-government-related employers in the city as of 2009.[129] According to statistics compiled in 2011, four of the largest 500 companies in the country were headquartered in the District.[130]
Sports
Washington is one of 12 cities in the United States with teams from all four major professional men's sports and is home to one major professional women's team. The Washington Wizards (National Basketball Association), the Washington Capitals (National Hockey League), and the Washington Mystics (Women's National Basketball Association), play at the Verizon Center in Chinatown. Nationals Park, which opened in Southeast D.C. in 2008, is home to the Washington Nationals (Major League Baseball). D.C. United (Major League Soccer) plays at RFK Stadium. The Washington Redskins (National Football League) play at nearby FedExField in Landover, Maryland.

DC pedicabber detained near the Lincoln Memorial by US Park Police -- Wed. 8/8/2012
Many pedicab operators in the District of Columbia are continually approached by select officers of the US Park Police. While no rule specifically bans pedicabs from operating on the National Mall, many of these federal agents site ambiguous local regulation - drafted unilaterally by DDOT last year - to issue citations that are almost always dismissed by the DC Adjudication Services. Additionally, several arrests have been made in the past 18 months. In one more dramatic event, an operator was tasered, twice, only for prosecutors to ultimately drop those charges as well. The next criminal trial for a veteran DC operator, charges of resisting arrest when he simply refused to put away his video camera, will take place on Sept. 19 - 21, 500 Indiana Ave. NW, Courtroom 220. For more news pieces highlighting the plight of pedicabbers in the nation's capital, please visit facebook.com/ParkThePolice . Thank you for your continued support of human-powered transportation options on the National Mall.
