A slightly more relaxed pace today, thankfully! We took a cab to the National Archives, gawked at the Constitution and Declaration of Independence and strolled next door to the wonderful sculpture garden.
Then over to the National Botanic Gardens – probably the only time I’ve been into a palm house where it’s *less* humid than outside.
No time to waste. Hiked up to the Executive Building to my Congressman’s office for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the US Capitol. Here are the secret tunnels so pols don’t have to get sweaty walking over to vote…
Stunning interiors included the old Senate chambers…
The old House of Representatives
And of course the majestic Rotunda
Here we are in a shaft of sunlight…
We wrapped the day up with a trip up the Old Post Office tower. Sorry George, much better views than from the Washington Monument.
