Capitol Hill

The first thing I saw when I was in DC, was Capitol Hill. The architecture in it was gorgeous! I saw the actual place where President Lincoln desk was. Along with Franklin Pierce, Martin Van Buren, etc. It was wonderful. In the beginning of the tour that I was on, we saw a short movie about the Capitol's history. Anyway, in one of the rooms, there was a huge painting on the ceiling. It was of George Washington, he was surrounded by Lady Liberty and Lady Victory with 13 women that stood for the 13 original colonies. There were also a lot of statues of famous figures in American history. I loved it!
