Library, Capitol, Union Station, Zoo, National Cathedral, Jefferson Memorial

Wow. What a day.

The Library of Congress (Jefferson Building) is one beautiful place. Check out those pictures.

The Capitol has so much history it is hard to take in that quickly. By the way, the Florida rep in the Statuary Hall is the guy who invented air conditioning!

We walked down to Union Station for lunch. Good selection again.

Then a bus trip to the Zoo. Pandas, elephants...... Then it started to sprinkle. (Not nearly as bad as predicted though so thanks for the prayers.)

We had a box dinner in the parking garage in the National Cathedral followed by a very beautiful Evening Song service of music and prayer.

It was still sprinkling a little at the Jefferson Memorial but we now know a lot more about Jefferson and what is included on the statue. Some great quotes in the memorial about how important it is to depend on our Creator and allow people the freedom to worship. Hopefully, the U.S. can continue to help other countries learn the same thing.

Some pictures uploaded. A few more coming!
