Well, we've had our fill of museums, now we're off to see other things: starting with the Library of Congress.
A little more of the DC Metro (we were among the last to get off at the end of the train).
James Madison in the Madison Building of the Library of Congress (this library consists of 3 buildings).
The Thomas Jefferson Building--where most of the library is.
Just above the entrance.
I couldn't see all of their names, but I saw the 2nd (L to R) is Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the 3rd is Benjamin Franklin, and I think the 5th is Nathaniel Hawthorne.
The inner court was quite impressive.
wow.
The library.
The various symbols on the floor makes me worry.
I just can't get over the architecture, design, and colors.
As we leave, we get to see the back-side of the Capitol Building, just acroos the street.
The James Madison Building of the Library of Congress.
Hmmm, I understand this is an important building. . . .
. . . which may be why there is a bar fence between the street and this particular house.
This was our last leg of the trip, although we were really tired; hence, why we didn't get to see much or walk around.
This was the main thing we could see because it was right by the entrance: the Women's Memorial.
I didn't know how large this cememtery is.
Behold, a sea of white tombstones . . .
Very interesting: just across from Arlington Cemetery is the Lincoln Memorial. You can see it just literally down the road, along with the Washington Monument.
On top of the Women's Memorial, taking in the view.
I like eagles.
The Franconia-Springfield Metro station in which we begin and end our days' trips.
