Washington Day 2

Today I was to finally get rid of the Chevy Impala that has given me so much grief for the last week or so, first I called at a Target store to get a lager travel bag to put all my stuff in. picked a large drag-along holdall for about $40 just the job. I dropped it off back at Jo's then drove the car down to Union Station where the Alamo returns are done. Just made it in time the traffic around Union Street Station is horrendous. After dropping the car and getting lost trying to get out of the car park; confusingly the signs pointing to the rail station are located over the escalators which take you back into the car park. The huge hall of the station is grand and awe inspiring and laid out with smart restaurants and cafés. The 'lines' are actually hidden away from the view of the station user and you could easily be led to believe that you were in some strange temple to food and not a railway station at all. Leaving the station I found the Postal Museum next door. I decided to go a have a look as communications have always interested me and also it wasn't your average run of the mill museum. Whilst only small, it was interesting and I spent an hour or so in here. Coming outside I took a walk over to Captiol Hill and took a couple of pictures. There was a Christian group giving it their all on the lawn in front of the Building complete with bands, staging, world flags and dancers. It was all a bit too much for me and I dropped in a small bar for a pint.
