Month: October 2017

So it is happening… Autumn is finally approaching the Capital City. For two years in a row this season of they year was always interesting, amazing and colorful. Now I got used to this, before I was little shocked how nature can change from day to day. It just like trees are getting this order to loose all the leaves right now and that’s what they do. This season is DC is interesting because it’s very short, after temperatures drop do 50’s and low 60’s everything is changing. Within 2-3 weeks all trees changing colors to beautiful yellow, gold, brown and red and after that they just loose their leaves at once. So you need to pay attention to that otherwise you will miss Autumn. All happens so quick, city becomes gray, feels like everything goes to sleep. This how it will be until March.

As Every year on Tuesday before the  Halloween in the heart of DC a great and strange event is taking place. It is a High Heel race… Everything starts two hours before the race itself with a colorful parade off all contestants. Creativity, weirdness has no limits… You just can’t stop laughing and can’t stop admiring people for all the lights, makeups, dresses, heels they put on. This event gathers several thousands of people cheering and having amazing fun and has been a part of National Capital for more than 30 years now!!! First race took place in 1986! This is now more than a tradition, this is a must see when in October in DC!

It was a good day today, woke up early, went to the gym did my workout. After that I took the opportunity and since I got a ticked to the new Newseum I decided to explore a little bit and go. 6 stories high museum with different exhibitions, from a part where they show all today’s newspapers front pages to “9/11”, freedom of media, FBI, The Kennedy’s to a Berlin Wall. All that in one place, plus you can play a reporter in real time studio or do a virtual walk to the West and East side of the Berlin Wall. That was a really nice experience. Definitely worth of seeing when you’re in DC!
