Last I checked, I was visiting the nation's capital, not the tropics. Why is it so blinkin' hot?!
Anyway, my first night in town, some of us walked down to the Lincoln Memorial and saw the Washington Monument and the WWII Memorial. They were quite historic :). I also noticed that there were urns, lights, and "quiet please" signs all around. I mused to myself that this was interesting. Whereas other cultures have temples of religion, we have temples of democracy....and that's ok with me. (I happen to enjoy that whole, "liberty and justice for all" theme. Even if it is mostly theory rather than practice :P).
