Washington, D.C.

Here's a close-up of the pillars.

Okay, time to go down to the basement to the Visitor Center.

Here's a scale model of the Capitol Visitor Center that will be opening sometime in 2006. It's all going to be underground.

Here's a picture of our tour guide. He's pretty good, I enjoy his humor. He wraps up the tour at this point. The group is left on their own to self-tour.

I notice there are many showcase displays on hand. I go over to take a look.

The Laying of the Cornerstone of the Capitol.
