There’s something almost religious about Washington, DC – if liberty and democracy counts as religion! The city is so much more than just a capital; it’s so full of symbols of the American nation and its history that itself has become a part of history. Nobody can deny another human being its birthrights in front of the Lincoln Memorial and this have been taken advantage of by many freedom-fighters in this last century.
Washington sure felt magic, but in order to do my best to extend my journey as much as possible I decided to take one last detour: Gettysburg. Inspired by Lincoln’s famous words of the Gettysburg Address I rode through Maryland and all the way up to Pennsylvania in less than one day. And Gettysburg is certainly a reminder of the struggles this nation has been through: both the people and its leaders.
Now I’m going to head towards Philadelphia, I promise! With about 200 miles left on my journey I’m already starting to miss all of this. Better try to enjoy this last part as much as possible.
