Wednesday

Wake up, go outside and wait for hotel shuttle. Men keep honking and waving at me, asking me "how you doin?" lol I think they thought i was an early morning hooker! made my way to the Washington Monument, went to the top, which was neat. It's 555 Ft tall, your ears pop as you go up, it takes over a minute to get to the top in an elevator.

Afterwords i go to the Smithsonian Natural History museum, where the giant elephant roars at me and i scream and jump, embarassing myself even more!!! I go through the museum which is very interesting..too much to list..but i did manage to walk past a few tarantulas..lol which was horrible for me..they had one out and was feeding it and i almost past out...

I than made my way to the Pavillion at the Old Post office where one street vendor yelled something disgusting at me, and where the security guard harassed me and followed me for a date. I went to the top of the Old Clock Tower which was neat, very nice views, than i enjoyed live music with my lunch. I ended up buying the man's c.d, it live performance was great, his name is KUKU.

I make my way through one building, the Jefferson Building, at the LIbarary of Congress, saw the Gutenburg Bible, and the Huge Library, it has the largest library in the world. Saw some amazing editorial cartoons by Herb Block, you should check him out, they were great, but i could take any pictures of them..

I left and went to Ford's Theatre where Lincoln was shot,and than across the street to Patterson House, where he eventually died. Very interesting buildings.

I than went to the National Archives and viewed the Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights. Very hard to see these documents b/c of the lights and bazillion layers of glass..but interesting none the less...i eventually make my way back to the hotel
