Friends!

We went on a driving tour with Bob, which was awesome. Here is some of what we saw:











After Bob dropped us off, we walked past the Supreme Court on our way to the Library of Congress. So of course we took more pictures of the Capital as well. We also saw a motorcade of about 10 military buses coming to the Capital, we are assuming for something to do with Ford. It was quite a sight!

One of my favorite places in Washington is the Library of Congress. We were able to go on a tour today with our good friends Jonathan and Kelly. It was great to see the building and learn a little more about it. We even got to walk through the exhibt on the St Johns Bible, which we weren't able to see when it was in Minnesota. Pretty cool stuff. Here are some pics from the Library of Congress.


We also waited in the cold for a long time for President Ford's motorcade to pass by. We waited and waited and waited, saw a bunch of cars go by but no hearse, thought maybe it was over, but it wasn't. After waiting some more, we saw the hearse go buy. Here are some picture of us waiting, the last one is of the hearse with the Capital in the background.




We had dinner tonight with Jonathan, Kelly and Dave. Here I am with Dave.
We ate at this great place in Chinatown called Fado. We had really good food and they had Strongbow on tap, so I was content. It is about 10:39 our time now and we are crashing. It was a really good day!
