I Heart DC...

94 degrees with 43% humidity....and I may be the only person that truly loves this weather! (Besides that ....it's raining at my house...so there summer....I will take this any day over June Gloom!

I walked 7.5 miles today....saw the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Archives (Constitution, Declaration of Independence, etc) Capitol tour, Library of Congress and had lunch....this was the lightest day so far....still loving it in DC.

U.S. Forestry...everyone loves Smokie!

Capitol....


The Library of Congress...is the most beautiful building here...next time I come back I will have to be cleared to do research so I can go into the research libraries.


...the reason I took this is because it reminded me of GET SMART...remember that spy show? This is the hall that leads from the Capitol to the Library of Congress. I started singing the GET SMART theme song in here.



Under the rotunda in the Capitol there is this star that is exactly the center compass of the entire city...the total layout of the city starts here at the center.



This plaque is on the floor of the old senate building....it is where his desk was.....it is way in the back because this was before Abe had any clout.


My favorite building of all....



This is really hard to see small...but it is me in front of the Department of Education Building...I didn't go in though....just rang the bell and posed for a photo.

I Love it Here!

The humidity is so good for my sinuses...
The weather is lovely....compared to the cold winter-ish rain-ish stuff we called spring....
I have walked the entire city until I am tired....
It is so cool to pass buildings that are a few hundred years old...places where Ben Franklin and George Washington walked and where Lincoln was and to stand in the very spot where Martin Luther King gave his "I have a Dream" speech.
I am so happy to be here and free:
