Washington DC visit


On Friday, August 7, we caught the "M" from our hotel in College Park, Maryland to downtown Washington DC. Our first stop was at the National Archives, where we got to see the Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and other cool stuff. I was confused to find the First Amendment (freedom of religion and speech) as the THIRD article in the original document. The answer to this confusion is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Bill_of_Rights
