Beautiful Churches in Washington D.C.

I visited Washington D.C. last December. There were so many interesting museums, historic sites and fabulous buildings that most visitors have to look around. I would like to introduce the most beautiful buildings that I’ve ever seen in US.
National Cathedral and National Shrine.
Churches or temples are often the most beautiful building in a city thus I always try to visit them when I travel to other cities than my hometown. Washington was not an exception. Most beautiful two buildings in Washington D.C. are churches. National Cathedral is a Episcopal church and National Shrine is a Catholic church. They are great in size and elegant in style.
Why do people try to build churches or temples beautifully? I think the reason is that beautiful things touch people’s heart and make it easy for people to have a religious mind. I am a Catholic and I feel my belief in God becomes deeper when I attend a mass at a beautiful church. :-)
The first pucture is National Cathedral in Washington D.C.

  2. wow, it's so beautiful churches. In Austin, there is one of good American church on the way of 2244. I forgot the name, but you can watch the beautiful view at there. Anyway, it's not easy the wedding life with husband who is scholar in my opinion. also living in foreign country without any working is very bored. why don't you make a native friend? you can also join some free program in church like cooking class. nowadays you looked a little bit tired. maybe next week we can talk our life in the class. have a nice weekend!
