Library Of Congress, Capitol Hill

My brother works here, and gave us a private tour of the Library, taking us places the public doesn’t see. It was the high point of our trip.

over 4 years agoThis place isn’t a grandiose over-the-top museum. It is basically a long room in an old building with a collection of newspaper clippings, artwork, and movie paraphenalia (from The Mothman Prophecies), with a video room in the back.
However it is fun, if you are into stuff like this. You can easily kill an hour and buy a tee shirt. The owner of the museum, Jeff Wamsley, is the author of two Mothman books. My 10 year old loved it. Just outside and down the street from the muesum is a 10’ tall statue of the Mothman.
over 4 years agoFor the longest time, I’ve been wanting to satisfy my anglophilia by walking the Cotswold Way. Starting at Bath Abbey, by the Avon river, I would love to spend a couple of days seeing Bath, gearing up, maybe play some golf, and then head north on the trail which leads 102 miles to Chipping Campden.
I would like to take this at a leisurely pace, carrying only a day pack with camera, sketchbook, journal, snacks, water, etc. I want to take the time to explore and see what there is to see. I would plan my end points in pubs in quaint villages, staying in B&Bs, and maybe taking a day off now and again to explore a particularly interesting town. I am thinking 2 to 2 1/2 weeks for the whole trip.
