Where was I? Washington, D.C. Totally cool to be there on that particular day. I hadn't been to D.C. in a while, and as corny as it may sound, it does reaffirm one's faith in the USA. Regardless of what may or man not be happening in politics today, Washington, D.C. showcases all of the 'mighty goodness', the myths, and ideals of America. It was a cool trip. And yeah they have the 'Puffy Shirt' from 'Seinfeld', Fonzie's jacket, Edith & Archie Bunker's chairs, Ray Charles' tuxedo among other things in the Smithsonian Museum of American History. Here's a coupla snaps I took of some more important things... Abe US Capitol dome inside Wash. monument If you were Martin Luther King, Jr. and you gave a speech called 'I Have A Dream' on August 28, 1963 this is what you would have seen filled with 200,000 people, 'cause this was the spot MLK did it from. anybody home??
