Another neat thing about the cathedral, is they let you go up in the front towers. From there you have a complete vista of DC--comparable only to the view from the Washington Monument (without the lines).

It's a nice view ... but not nearly as nice as that from the Cairo.

(Stu feels himself getting ready to start a "best view" flame war, lol)

I would imagine that the BEST view is from an ultralight aircraft puttering above the mall.
