US Capitol!

[PheonixKingZ]

I toured the US Capitol building today! It was an amazing experience. The architecture is insane, and it’s crazy to think all of that is still standing to this day.

cool building to be fair almost looks Greek
It’s crazy how old buildings in American are only like 200 years old
In comparison to European buildings 200 years I’d fairly modern

I’m being 100% serious, I don’t know why you think I’m kidding.

Idk... Just seemed pretty cool so I wasn't sure.
Was it a planned thing or was he just like: "let me show you around"

A lot of it does look Greek, we definitely took inspiration from them when building

America really is just a mix of different cultures... Do we really have anything original?

My sister is going to the military college
West Point, and since Andy Barr is our representative for Kentucky, she has to send him a letter asking for a recommendation and such. So he has been in contact with her a lot over the past year or so. Since we were going to be in DC anyway, he met with us outside and we got some pictures with him. Then his assistant gave us a tour of the whole Capitol building.
