The basilica in DC is just so stunningly beautiful. I love the mosaics, I love all the marian side chapels, I love the crypt church, I love the upper church. Just everything.

(I think my relatives are tired of me asking to stop there every time we go into DC. Hah.)

#only thing I would change is I think the Brookland-CUA metro stop really needs better signs #I come here several times a year and I pretty much always get lost finding my way back to the metro #tbh I recommend driving if you're coming from the Virginia direction because they've got an easy to access parking lot #but I was already downtown so I metro'd today #every time I get on the metro I miss the trains in Japan: the cleanliness! the punctuality! the sheer ease of use!#this has turned from 'caroline appreciates the basilica' to 'caroline bemoans american public transit' lol #edited to add: in camp parlance I just 'realnamed' myself. oops. but I don't care enough to change it - a fun factoid for the few who read
