I'll never forget staring out over the city, soaking up the magnificent view in silence. I'll also never forget the silence being broken by an American family of four. The father shouting, "hey everybody! Look! You can see the American Embassy from here!!" Of all the things to point at... So, if you have tacky tourist tendencies, keep them to yourself and discuss them when you're back at the Holiday Inn. Enjoy the view.
Castle? Look up.
