My map for Washington D.C - https://goo.gl/maps/XhNCT2M8fduPc4un9

Embassy Row is a section of Massachusetts Avenue with many embassies and the house of the Vice President located on one end.

Washington National Cathedral -Construction first began on this massive cathedral – the sixth largest in the world – in 1907, but it wasn't actually completed until 1990. Designed in the Gothic style, the Washington National Cathedral sits surrounded by gardens, creating a pleasant atmosphere for visitors. Take a stroll around the cathedral and peer at its high vaults and flying buttresses, or step inside to admire its intricate glass-stained windows. Another highlight is the cathedral's Gargoyle Tour. This tour – offered between May and September – gives you a chance to gaze up at the building's stony grotesques and gargoyles. (There's even a Darth Vader gargoyle that was appointed in the 1980s along the right-hand side of the northwest tower.)
