Luminaries

While I was exploring D.C., I decided to walk through Pershing Park, and came upon this plaza by happenstance. On the ground there are quotes from American luminaries about D.C., along with a giant stone map of the Capital. You may not be able to step inside of the real White House, but you can step on top of it here!

The days of the week are named after the seven luminaries, in modern terms: the seven celestial bodies visible to the naked eye.
