The Capitol Dome

Free guided tours are available, but Paul, who used to be a Congressional Page, takes you on a personal tour. The Capitol Rotunda is very impressive, and there is marble statuary of great statesmen wherever you look. The original Supreme Court Chamber, the Old Senate Chamber and the Crypt - the intended burial place of George Washington complete your tour. Then you take the subway between the Capitol and the Senate Buildings where you get lunch in the Senate cafeteria.
