I shot a lot with disposables this year purely for the convenience of it, and while they're compact and lightweight, I think the quality is a bit too low for me to handle now that I've been using my Fuji FZ-2000 more.

Washington was hot and sticky this time of year, but the nights were breezy and comfortable while we were there.

I never understand a thing at greenhouses, but I love them nonetheless.

| The Hirshorn was my favourite museum there. |
We also made a brief visit to Georgetown University and the town itself, which was exactly how I envisioned a stereotypical American university experience would be like. I think 15 year-old me who read a ton of YA fiction would've freaked out visiting a place like this back then.
We finished our trip off with a last walk at the National Mall.
I didn't expect DC to wow me, since vast landscapes or anything nostalgic to my childhood usually do (which DC lacks both of). But I can't deny the power and influence of the city, which you can literally *smell*. Belinda, who's American, always joked that she'd point out all the lobbyists at restaurants for us. Pretty crazy how decisions made here are world-changing; that's pretty damn wowing to me.
