Arlington National Cemetery Revisited

After a day of recuperation from the long hike around the national memorials, Rita and I went to Arlington National Cemetery. This time I took a more direct route up the hill. We visited the graves of the Kennedy’s then proceed up towards the Custus-Lee house. That home had an amazing view of downtown DC. They were in the process of renovating the house, but it was still interesting to see. I then crossed over to the tomb of the unknown soldier and saw the changing of the guards. It is a very solemn precise process. There was a large crowd there as I guess it is one of the major regular events of the site that would appeal to tourists. I’ll probably come back again, as it is a very peaceful and beautiful place.
