- Today we start with a nice walk around the National Cathedral and then a bike ride down into the downtown. We take a look at the GWU protests (again) and then off to the White House where we are whisked through a departure for Delaware.

Besides the flower festival at the National Cathedral, great tour of the embassies too! Thank you P6!
Hi Cammie I missed the live too 🤗
❤This is the way life should be,enjoying it.❤
Thank you so much for the awesome tour. My daughter lives in DC and sometimes I’ll tell her about things that you’ve mentioned that she’s not aware of. It’s a pretty cool way for me to stay in touch with her.
Washington is very green and lush with green trees and landscape. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing all the embassies. Great to see the huge red white and blue flag at GWU.
Nice finally some peace enjoy the day great to see american flag again
P6, to me this is your best production ever! Very well balanced and informative. Thank you!!
Ty for showing us around as always good job. Liked the history of houses. Sounds like your boys are like you so cool. God bless you and your family.
I went to the Embassy Open House one year. I had a passport or a map and I got it stamped. (I am a big kid). It was fun and the inside architecture was beautiful in some of them. I selfishly like it when you walk; I flinch less! LOL! Thank you for a fun tour. Has the statue of George Washington been defaced at GW? It looked like there were white patches on it. At one point, one of the news outlets said it had been defaced, but it had been "dressed" up with the scarf and flag. Stuff that could be removed without damaging the statue.
Thanks Andrew have a great weekend.
I LOVE your videos! Thank you! Having been to DC and loving DC - your videos make me want to keep going back! I love all your fun facts!!! Best video yet! Well maybe not the best because all of your videos are awesome! THANK YOU! I look forward to your videos every day!!!
I hope you got the wife some beautiful flowers!
I love events like that and I used to eat funnel cake. I miss those days. Great video. 🤩
That was funny how you remember Loraine Bobbit ...lol Boeburt is much prettier !!!
Ole Foggy Bottom is off to Delaware 😃 As he doesn't seem to mind the protests, he should offer up some grass space at the WH. Great tour of the festival and the Embassies, it looked like a beautiful day for it. Enjoy some time off P6, see ya next time 🍻
Why do you want Biden to violate the law to remove these protesters? Right now it is up to George Washington University, a private institution, to decide how they want to deal with the trespassers. Unless they ask the police to remove them there is very little legally that the police can actually do.
@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 maybe you should actually READ his post before remarking such nonsense & always looking for a fight.
He said Jojo should offer them up even more space, he doesn't use it for much. Does even THAT insult what you call your "sensibilities"?🙄 give it a rest, it must be EXHAUSTING to be you, so filled with the TDS & all that self importance you're dragging around everywhere. Take a damn nap or something 😂
OH!! And spare me your Trump report in retort...
Hi Dustin!👋😃
@@debbiedebster5806 When Dustin said, "As he doesn't seem to mind the protests" in regard to Biden that implies that Biden is permitting these protests to happen instead of ending them. I guess when you were so busy skipping grades in school you skipped something called critical reading.
Have you told your neighbors, friends, and relatives that you are pro-rape and pro-rapist?
Thank you
It’s really nice to see the flower and plant market. Great community event.🌺🌸🌼
Awesome video mate it's like a field trip very entertaining also you seem to be a great bike rider
Golden Days are coming my brother's and sisters, positive always 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for the info on the Flower Mart. Nice tour. What a statement they made!
Thank you!!!!! 🥰
Awesome P6🫠🩷
Now that's the place to ve. Plants, flowers, food and other fun things. Did not know the Vatican had embasses. The embassies & homes are fancanting. Love, love, love watching the precise steps and turns of the Marine opening & closings the steps. Hurrah for the "statement". Finally!!!
Vatican City is the smallest country in the world, and the Pope is the last absolute monarch in Europe.
Hey I have a idea why not put the homeless in those empty embassies
Thanks for the tour of the national cathedral and embassies row. Thanks for the update at gtu. Also thanks for the south lawn video. Next wednesday will have a south lawn departure, if someone is in the white house that day. Another Wisconsin visit.
Really enjoyed the flower market. Thank you Andrew!
From Deena Levy 🙏 ♥️ 🇺🇸
👍 Thanks for the walk-about... interesting and informative as always!! Have a great weekend.
Is the Flag a few days late 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
P6, maybe you can show the national cathedral and crypts underneath. Went there on a class trip 8th grade in 1975 from WV. Someone got into their dad's stash of airplane bottles of booze. On the bus going there, we realized that once we cracked open the jack daniels, the chaperones were on us from the smell. Oh well, live and learn, should have brought vodka instead because they separated Colleen and I.😮
Still had a great time however, went to a breakfast buffet in the morning and they were frying eggs in a vat of oil like french fries. Never seen anything like that since. Is that a DC thing?
Penguin at 4:10, how could u pass up the merry go round?! Lol
What a great video!!!
I really like touring the DC embassies and neighborhoods. Thanks@
Thank you I enjoyed everything you did get some good rest
Thanks for the great tour and history. Be safe.
This Monday is Holocaust Remembrance Day. Will you be going to the Holocaust Museum. I hope these non peaceful protestors don't destroy the horrible memory of what happened then.
I am a historian of the Holocaust and wonder how many of the 'protestors' even know of the events leading up to WW2 and the Nazi's perfusion of the Jewish population. Terrible time to be a Jew in post and war time in Germany and many other countries. I'd show them some of the many, many videos of the stories told by the few survivors, God help us if it ever happens again.
Love your travels around DC. When younger I walked along embassy row and the side streets quite a few times, very interesting. stayed in a hotel in or near Rock-creek park, probably long gone now. Could walk to the zoo to see the panda's.
We British love our flower markets 😂
lived here 61 yrs. and didn't know about this festival, will be sure to be there next year, visiting in PA now,
You’re killing me softly with these cakes.
To who ever put USA big 🇺🇲👏❤️🤍🩵
How fun! I would have visited it if lived there.
There were a whole slew of "migrants" claiming to be from Chad. They were crossing into TX & AZ back 4-5 months ago. Only young men in groups of 2 or 3. They seemed to be very healthy specimens of humanity.
Thanks P6 for all your cool videos...love watching them.
Interesting tour today sir. Embassies make me a little uneasy. Thanks p6.
Penguin at 22:21 if u offer to change joebomas diaper he might answer a few of ur questions?! Lol but he can’t put two sentences together, so I guess not?!!
That is huge!
We rented the blow up ones with water splashes for hot summer! No bounce slide
Hey P6, The King Tut exhibit is in DC. Not sure where.
President Biden awarded 19 people w the Medal of Freedom today. I was sure he would be late.
The flag was huge. Protests are continuing across the country and across the globe. I hope they remain peaceful.
Thanks for the tour. I would have to stay away from the flowers. $$$
They were beautiful.
See you soon. Take care.
Your pizza looked very good!🍕
Looks very much like our May Mart we have every year in May up here in town I live in in NW PA. We our currently having our May Mart right now.
Who paying them 🤔 👀
It Sat night. I just got on to say stay safe. I ok but it has Rained a lot in Texas . And storms.
It seems we have lost this tradition national wide. My Mother in law was aMay Queen long long ago in Texas.
Superb video. Where can I dinare for your hamburgers?
Wouww stunning video today ❤❤❤ enjoy watching 🙏🏻 26:39
Yes cotton Candy
Now that would be fun....
Thank you, that was great!
Sorry I missed the live chat because I was very tired yesterday
Penguin at 12:29 u mentioned the cherry blossoms 🌸 at the Japanese embassy! Did they ever cut down all the cherry trees u mentioned back when they were in bloom or did they decide to not cut them down?!
They are going to start the Tidal Basin renovation pretty soon and the trees will be cut then.
@@Penguinsix ok thanks for ur reply! I do pay attention to u my friend!! Thanks for showing us all of ur hard work buddy 👍🏼
I love gardening so I would love to visit the flower event.
Look good
Good morning Penquin 6.
to bad you don't have "smell-o-vision" for the flowers..
Bazar?
The four stooges Mo Curly Joe and larry
Of course this all you wanted to comment on 🤦♂️
@@robwahl6288 What's funny is the person screwed up the names of the stooges by failing to use commas. There is Moe, Larry, Curly, Joe, Shemp, and Curly Joe. So a reasonable view is that they named three stooges in an attempt to name four.
@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 I thought the same thing! Obviously not a Three Stooges fan versus both you and I. 👍
Why do all these embassies need to be on American soil ,,, seriously ???? 🤔
Because that’s what an embassy is. Countries have them in the capital cities of other countries. It’s an ancient practice. Penguin was walking through “Embassy Row,” where most nations have their embassies in DC.
Did you somehow miss government class in high school? I ask because embassies have been established between nations as a means of maintaining diplomatic relations and communication between them for centuries.
@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 Well don’t remember most of what we were taught ,,, but that diplomacy doesn’t seem ,, to working the they thought it should ,,, 🤔 just a thought . 💁♀️
@@phyllisalderson6247 Diplomacy doesn't mean that what a nation desires to happen diplomatically doesn't mean that is what is going to happen. As to your not remembering what you were taught about that is on you.
@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 Ok ,, thanks for your time .
Sorry P6, Flower Mart is a Friday and Saturday Event. Sunday is for Church
To each their own👍
I go to church Saturday night!
Are embassies where dignitaries stay from their country?
Tom?
I wonder who pays for the upkeep of these embassies. Some are extra large. Also who pays for US embassies in other countries?
Each country pays for their own embassy, so the British pay for the British embassy in the USA, the British embassy in Germany, the British embassy in France, etc. The US pays for our embassies in London, Paris, Berlin etc. As for exterior security (i.e. the sidewalks) that is the responsibly of the host country, so the US pays the policemen on the sidewalk outside of the British embassy, and in London the UK government pays for the police outside the American embassy.
Why don’t you show everybody who gets on the helicopter?
