The National Mall
Welcome to Historic America’s walking tour of the National Mall. We’re glad you could join us! I’m Aaron, your guide (but I also respond to professional history nerd). This is the part of the tour where I fit in my shameless plug for our website www.historicamerica.org and invite you to use the #historicamericatours on social media while traveling alongside us today. This tour will focus on the monumental core of Washington, DC, otherwise known as the National Mall. We'll begin with the Capitol Building and the Smithsonian Museums and end with the Lincoln Memorial. Along our walk, you'll see everything in-between.
Welcome to Historic America & UCPlaces’ audio walking tour of Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC. I’m ‘Professional History Nerd’, Rachel Tracey. I’ll be your tour guide as we explore America’s Main street, making our way through the heart of downtown to the most famous residence in the United States, the White House. Meet me at the historic Hotel Harrington, and let’s begin!
Welcome to Historic America’s walking tour of the Haight-Ashbury, one of San Francisco's most storied and colorful neighborhoods! I’m Aaron, your guide and professional history nerd. Before we begin, check out www.historicamerica.org to view our multitude of tour offerings and extra elements, like our podcast and Youtube series. I also invite you to use #historicamericatours on social media to show off your neighborhood adventure today. Let’s begin. During the late 1960s, the Haight-Ashbury was home to the countercultural movement that sought to create a brave new world of free expression, free love, and new possibilities. Along these storied streets, the movement’s followers - hippies - mounted a peaceful revolution against war, conformity, materialism, and oppression. There are at least two sides to every revolution, however, and although the hippie counterculture had its insights, it also had excesses. We’ll explore both today. The hippies were joined by many of the most talented musicians and the most notorious personalities of their era. On this tour, we will explore their stories (along with a few others), ultimately discovering how the “flower children” left an indelible mark on the history of the Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco, and the United States. Alright, let’s chill out, hang loose, and head back to 1967 and the Summer of Love. To get started, find your way to the intersection of Fulton & Stanyan streets.
こんにちわ！ユーシープレイスにようこそ！今日は桜探検ツアーにご案内します。でもこのツアーは木だけではありません。記念碑、彫像、庭園、そして古い歴史的な家もあります。皆さんが散歩しながら桜を見ているのを邪魔したくありません。記念碑や博物館についての詳細のある他のユーシープレイスツアーがあります。今日は散歩しながら景色を眺めリラックスしましょう。このツアーは二てん五マイルあるので水分補給をしっかりして写真をたくさんとってください！ それでは、どのように桜の木がワシントンディーシーに来たのでしょう。千九百十年に日本の市長がアメリカに木を二千ぽんを送りました。残念なことに木々が害虫に冒されていたので、ウイリアムタフト大統領はその木々を使って巨大なたき火を作りました。日本はそのことについて申し訳なく思い健康な木を三千ぽんを送りました。 天候に応じて、四月のはじめころ木は約二週間さきます。満開の期間は四から七日間です。今年はタイミングが合っているでしょうか！ツアーはコンステテュ−ション アベニューと十六番通りの北西から始まります。 車で路上駐車を探したくないならツアー出発地点の近くにロナルド レーガン ビルのとても良い駐車場があります。１３番通りとペンシルベニア アベニューから、またはコンステテューション アベニューとペンシルベニア アベニューの間にある１４番通り上の建物から、その両脇からも駐車場へアクセスできます。 徒歩でしたらコンステテューションと１６番の角で会いましょう。そして憲法の庭に入り非常に高いワシントン記念塔に向かいます。
こんにちは！ユーシープレイスにようこそ！今日は、ヘインズポイント周辺のワシントンDC桜探検ツアーにご案内します。 このツアーは4マイルあるので、ゆっくりと時間をかけていきましょう。自転車やスクーターなどに乗ってもいいですよ。もちろんジョギングもできますが、安全確認をしながら写真をたくさん撮ってください！ それでは、どのように桜の木がワシントンDCに来たのでしょう。１９１０年、日本の市長がアメリカに木を２０００本送りました。残念なことに木々は害虫に冒されてしまっていたので、ウイリアムタフト大統領はその木々を使って巨大なたき火を作りました。日本はそのことについて申し訳なく思い健康な木を３０００本送ったということです。 天候に応じて、通常四月のはじめころに桜は約二週間の間さきます。満開の期間は四から七日間です。今年はタイミングが合っているでしょうか！ デバイスにある「ナビゲーションを開始」を選択すると、ナビゲーションにより駐車場に移動し、駐車してツアーを開始できます。DCで最もエキサイティングな彫像であるキューバの友情の壷のそばにあります。冗談です。キューバの友情の壷はありますがそんなに期待はしないでください。 では後ほどお会いしましょう！たくさんの美しい花をみなさんと見ることができますよう楽しみにしています！
