The Library of Congress is one of the institutions in the US that still gives me hope.

Nice Annapolis view, I’m a Johnnie and I don’t remember that walkway at all, but of course I kept to the flat places when walking off campus.

Oh, takes me back to my own high school trip from California to D.C., Boston, Philadelphia, New York to experience US history. Love the architecture, love the photographs!

Very cool pics. I skipped my school trip to D.C., so I’ve never been there.

@TomatoQueen:
That walkway is near the top of Main Street, near the Treaty of Paris Inn.
The African American History Museum was the highlight of the trip. There are special exhibitions on the upper floors. The main part of the museum takes you three floors below grade, back in time before the slave trade, then you walk up to the present. I came away believing that every American should take that walk.

Ah, no wonder, Treaty of Paris was very much off-wallet when I were a lass on my way to Chick & Ruth’s.
