Day Ninety-Eight: Library of Congress

Today was my first time to visit the Library of Congress, and I was was very impressed. It is a beautiful building, and it houses, among other things, Thomas Jefferson's personal library and a copy of a Gutenberg Bible, which were both of great interest to our group. We also enjoyed a special exhibit featuring courtroom art and the view into the Reading Room.
