After going through security, we decided to wait to join a tour. But we soon decided that self guiding was more our speed. I am interested in the architecture, and Karen more in the historical arcs. The guide was all about the personalities. Anyway, here is a statue of the architect, Thos. Jefferson.

This underground atrium (skylit from the seal inset at the foot of the original grand entrance, I'll show you later) has the cafeteria behind me, and above Karen quoth T.J, "The most sacred of the duties of a government is to do equal and impartial justice to all."
Not sure how well this attitude worked for his slaves.
