The DC sights


There is a lot of impressive stuff in DC and the day we took the bus, we saw many of the major sights. We circled around capitol a lot and got of there in the end, since we wanted to see the Jefferson library. The whole government area is build to look important and intimidating and it certainly does. Look at this evil empirialist bird.

When we got to Capitol, I really really needed to find a toilet. Very much. So we went to a building on the other side of the street from Capitol. This turned out to be Russel Senate Office Building, and there were two police officers in the entrance, who scanned our bags and pointed me in the direction of the ladies room. After passing several offices with very important looking staff, I releaved myself in I highly polished government loo. I then went back to the police guys who had been chatting with Ivan. They turned out to be Bill and John and John was complaining. The thing that bugged him, was that he once again had not been nominated for Prettiest People on Capitol Hill. They apparently have a government beauty-contest. John, who is a little chubby and probably in his late thirties, was very hurt by this lack of nomination, since he was obviously the prettiest cop on Capitol. Bill heartily agreed that he was. They invited us to drink beer with them at their local after-work hangout, but we declined in a friendly way and went to se the Library of Congress. Even thought they were very nice guys. And pretty. The Library that Jefferson build is so beautiful that it was even worth not drinking with the prettiest cop at Capitol for.
