I was one of 5,000 people herded around National Capitol today, though note that there are 17,000 per day in the peak month of May. It is a beautiful old building with too much security to easily enjoy, but glad I did it! That is my only guided tour for the week. I then saw the gorgeous Library of Congress and had lunch at the Eastern Market. It is a dining/shopping magnet for the young and hip, like our 12 South or East Nashville Five Points. I ate Cuban food today.

There was more excitement outside the capitol!
Demonstrators both for and against going after Assad

I was "people-watching" through the window of
the Banana Cafe for lunch, but also intrigued by
this window across the street
