We were able to avoid another security check by taking the tunnel underground from the Capitol to the Library of Congress. We got to see the books that Jefferson sold to them for $24,000. There were exhibits on suffragettes and Rosa Parks. We got to see one of the original Gutenberg bibles. Our last stop was a behind glass, balcony view of the libraries reading room.

Traveler How THRILLING!!!! I'm tingling all over. The ULTIMATE Library experience. But do they have a Starbucks inside like the Rhodes College Library?
