Capitol Building Revisited (8th July)

This is kind of a late post... my friend Meiyan visited me one week after the Niagara Falls trip and we went to visit the Capitol Building in DC. Time passes are need for a tour of the building and they are limited and usually will go out in an hour or two (in the morning by the way!!).

So we actually had to get there early in the morning (quite sad for a Saturday actually...) to get the passes and waited till 12-ish before we can go for the tour. It feels somewhat like visiting the Istana in Singapore... some Singaporeans just might never do it ever in their lives... (like me for example...)

Anyway, the Capitol tour was really good! The guide was very informative and the architecture was quite amazing. The Rotunda was like the books said.... quite awesome. We were only allowed to a few sections of the Capitol, which is heavily guarded. Check out the art of the Capitol Building here.
