I loved our tour guide at the Capitol building she definitely either seemed like she loved her job! I couldn't believe how huge the doors were at the Supreme Court. All of the architecture was just perfect, especially the figures on the top of the Supreme Court.
ReplyDeleteI think our tour guide made our tour so much more enjoyable. She was funny and full of energy, which kept me interested! My favorite was when Abdullah stood in front of those doors at the Supreme Court. It really showed how giant the doors are! Definitely felt like a little ant :)
DeleteI know, the doors seemed huge in the pictures we saw in class, but seeing them in real life was incredible!
DeleteThe tour of the Capitol was great! I agree Katelynn she made the tour far more enjoyable since you could clearly see the passion from her for what she does. I was surprised at just how much of the building is under construction this took nothing away from the tour though.
ReplyDeleteOur tour guide was so much fun! She seemed to really enjoy her job and was just a joy to be around. It was kind of disappointing to not be able to see the entire dome though but I guess it's just another thing I could add to the list to see again if I ever get to go back!
