A visit to the impressive U.S. Capitol Building

We had our annual visit to the Mall in Washington D.C. This time we decided to visit he U.S. Capitol. We took the Metro, had a tour and then finished-up downtown with a visit to Mark's office.

Just as we were preparing to walk to the Metro station to return home, rain commenced in earnest, with thunder and lightning. When the rain finally let-up a bit we walked to the station, only to learn that apparently the electrical storm had caused a power outage at our Forest Glen Station, disabling the elevators which would take us to the street level and our car. So we boarded a jam-packed train and rode all the way to the Wheaton Station where we took a bus back to our car. Nothing like an adventure! - Nancy
