Oct 12th. More historical stuff here and about as historical as you can get in the US. I head to the National Archives to see the original Declaration of Independence and the original Constitution as well. Both documents are housed in state of the art cases to preserve them but they are pretty faded already. It was cool to see the original ones though - no flash photos are allowed but it doesn't stop some people 'accidently' forgetting to turn the flash off. I gave some guy a lesson on how to use his camera as he claimed he had no idea how to turn the flash off. The rest of the building was not really interesting to me (Do I really want to see Bill Clinton's high school card?) - I also was hoping to see one of the 4 Magna Carta's left in existance here but it has gone back to wherever it was loaned from.
