Many people know that this is the second time in my life that I have spent some time in the Arlington/DC area. However, I can say there are a couple places that are a bit different compared to how I remember them.
Some of my fellow interns and I took a tour of the Capitol on Tuesday. However, the season wasn't the only thing that was different. Right now the dome portion of the Capitol is under repairs, so now inside the Capitol there are some tarps up which cover part of the dome's interior. Since those tarps blocked an extra source of light, the inside of the Capitol seemed gloomier and not quite as majestic as it was when I saw it during the summer before I started college. I hope that the repair work turns out well.
The other place that seems different to me is the Pentagon Mall. When I was last there, I was with my marching band friends getting dinner and buying a few souvenirs. However, it's weird to go there by myself if I'm just passing through to get to my next destination. Also, I've now gone through some different entrances and exits from when I first visited the Pentagon Mall less than 3 years ago. Now it also seems like just another mall than a place for a tourist to make a stop at.
I know this post is brief, but there's not much to say this week. Hopefully there will be more for me to write about next week.
