July 17, 2013, Tour of the U.S. Capitol

This was my first visit to the U.S. Capitol since the opening of the new underground Visitors' Center. Though crowded with summer tourists, we found the system well organized and managed. After a fine tour, Christie and I ate lunch in the Capitol visitors' cafeteria, then took the tunnel to the Library of Congress across the street (shown in the next blog post).
