POI 1 Tour Image
Le Mémorial Lincoln
D'accord ! En avant sur votre droite se trouve le Lincoln Memorial. C'est l'immense structure blanche avec les colonnes. C'est la deuxième attraction la plus populaire de Washington DC. Certaines des premières propositions pour ce mémorial comprenaient un temple maya et une cabane en rondins. Il y a également eu un désaccord sur l'emplacement exact du mémorial. Le président de la Chambre à l'époque a déclaré : "Je ne laisserai jamais ériger un mémorial à Abraham Lincoln dans ce foutu marais." Désolé, mais c'est là qu'il est. De plus, depuis le Lincoln Memorial et en regardant vers l'est, vous pouvez voir le bassin réfléchissant du Lincoln Memorial et le Washington Monument. Nous en reparlerons plus tard.
