D.C. is blessed with a lot of green space: parks, gardens, the Mall, and more. There’s a couple botanical gardens, grottoes, fancy manicured lawns, and trees everywhere. Rock Creek is almost a wilderness in places, and even the smallest little pocket parks have nice landscaping. It’s good that visitors can appreciate it.

Overheard of the Week

On a bench in the Sculpture Garden:

A touristy woman and her daughter walk by a flower bush.

Mom: “Oh my god, those flowers smell like taco shells, you know, the kind we have at home.”
Daughter stops and smells: “No way, they smell like the shoe department at Wal-Mart.”

The mom nods and they walk away.

After the jump, the cemetery and tourists, tourists, tourists.
