First of all, happy new year! Hope everyone had a great holiday. As I mentioned in my last post, my holidays were going especially well. I spent a lot of time with various friends from far and near, as well as with family. While my family was in town, we spent couple of days going into DC. On one of the days, I booked a tour of the US Capitol Building. They recently openned up a new visitors center at the Capitol Building so now you can book tours yourself online instead of going through your Congressman. They did a pretty good job of it all. Tours are free and run pretty frequently. I think they are even open on Saturdays, though you may have to book well in advance for that. When I was there on a weekday, seemed like they even had room for walk-ins. The tour lasts and hour and is very informative. The building itself is also very beautiful everywhere. The visitors center also has an exhibition hall separate from the tour, as well as a cafeteria that had pretty decent pork bbq. A visit is highly recommended!
