Thankfully day 3 is less hectic. Just a few more meetings to pick up some of the discussions that were not compeleted properly yesterday, and then it was time to switch to the “tourist mode again”.
I am bit tired to blog about the full details, so, just some short lines.
I managed to arrange a tour inside the Capitol, so, just after lunch, that was the first stop. The building is deep in history, but not quite as “rich” as the Westminster parliament. I particularly like the Rotunda which connects the House of Representatives and the Senate. The artwork around it, and particularly the carving-like drawings just below the window panels are beautiful. They have a small exhibition at the ground floor but there were not many exhibits.
By the time I finished the Capitol, there was not enough time to go to the White House Visitor Centre (they close at 4pm). So I thought I would just go to the National Archive. But the queue was too long, and I didn’t want to stand waiting in the heat (it was quite a hot day). So I took a tour bus around DC,going all the way up to the Washington National Cathedral, passing through Embassy Row and Georgetown, and then back to the Union Station. From there, back to the hotel, and then straight to the airport.
I arrived in Atlanta at around 11pm.
All in all, it wasa good trip to DC.
