I’m glad to be going home today. Yesterday was a brutal day of sightseeing; we started out at 7am so that we could get to the Capitol and be in line for tour tickets. The tour was somewhat disappointing; while the building itself is absolutely staggering, we only saw a tiny portion of it because the post-911 tour has been so truncated. We then walked through several museums until we were totally wiped out. After six hours of walking around, we were both completely wasted. We probably only walked 6-7 miles, but with the temperature around 100 very humid degrees, and having done a lot of walking the night before, we were done. It was about 4pm when we got back to our rooms and we simply agreed to meet this morning around 10-11am. I was up at 6:30 after a long rest but I’m already starting to feel tired again. Maybe I should lay down again before our last shot at a museum before we go home this evening.
