We ended our day in Congress – where we had to be searched –
pockets emptied – no phone for pictures
We settled in for about 45 minutes – and there was to be a vote –
But – NO ONE on the floor paid any attention –
they were divided on the right side and the left side –
The entire congress did nothing but talk –
So loud we – in the balcony – could not hear what they were saying
on the loud speakers!
where nothing gets done
and no one listens
I was disgusted at the whole thing and how they all acted.
All we could do was watch the electronic board to see the total of the votes.
walking to Union Station
waiting to cross the street

inside Union Station
We toured Union Station and had lunch – then boarded the Metro there
and got off at the Smithstonian in the Mall.

on our way
to the White House
We left the Mall behind and walked to the front of the White House
We had covered a lot that day
and decided to see the front and the back
But on our way we came across a very peaceful protest
in front of the EPA building
They were not yelling – they were respectful when we talked to them
outside the EPA
Headquarters
Now – I can not understand why anyone would be against clean air
Withe clean air comes better gas mileage
More peaceful protest
This one has been there
for the entire time we have
been in NVA
The one who was here first passed away several years ago
they have kept it here as each election
brings new Government
as a way to keep the power in the people
and a eye on what is going on.
Both Democrats and Republicans have seen this protest.
At the front of the White House
When we first came here 20 years ago
you could get a lot closer
We continued walking
back to the Metro
non violent protest
We had walked almost all DC with Jo and Paul
We covered everything plus on their list !
