I offer high-quality walking tours of Washington's monuments in the context of American art, history, religion and the current debate about personal freedom, national unity and the rule of law. I have Ph. D. in American Religion and Public Life from the Graduate Theological Union and the University of California, Berkeley. My book-in-progress is American Acropolis: The West End of the National Mall. If you want to see a lot of monuments in Washington as quickly as possible, by all means take a bus or trolley tour. There are plenty of them. I recommend instead that you take the time to stretch your legs in the company of people like yourself, breathe, and consider these monuments in the context of the total environment of the city of Washington, the history of the United States and the world we now live in.
