I love this city; its monuments, history and air of mystery... There are more spies per captia here than anywhere in the world and the entire town exudes the gravitas befitting a capitol. You feel the importance, the power, everywhere you go. It is also a vibrant place, full of culture and local colour. There's great, fresh seafood, interesting theatre, world-class museums and excellent live music venues. It's walkable, too.
But there is one thing I really don't like about DC - It is EXPENSIVE.
