It has been a very long day. I've arrived in the City (the "other "City") at around 11am and immediately began the tourist frenzy. After waving hello to my new neighbors at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, I proceeded to the Holocaust Memorial Museum. I don't know why I chose to start my tour there.
The museum is highly recommended, especially if you haven't been to other similar museums (like Yad v'Shem). I definitely got flashbacks from my trip to Poland all those years ago, and I had a few rough minutes.
After that I needed to clear my head a bit and strolled around the US Capitol.
From there, I continued to two personally important sites: the Supreme Court of Justice and the Library of Congress.
Righteously inspired again, I visited the National Museum of the American Indian, where again I saw people dispossessed and persecuted.
I hate to end on a grim note, but see below. I still have quite a few museums and other things to see and do, but I should have enough time.
I guess there's no escaping him...
