Much more interesting than from the Eiffel Tower, I think. I tried to take two of them - toward the Capitol and toward the White house. The northeast view too, was very interesting (but untakable) and the Potomac views were hazy and against the sun. The We walked all the way down (898 steps, I think) rather monotonous at first, but in the lower parts are innumerable memorials to look at - stones from battlefields and from states and from Schools and Masonic societies &c.&c. Some relics. It was cool and dark and resounding inside - but sunny and warm outside. We walked thro' the mall to the Nat'l Museum & went in especially to see the many relics of Grant and other generals - and of Washington. Their uniforms, camp kits - chairs &c. Grant's old field glasses, too - and many, many gifts from all parts of the world, beautiful caskets in which were enclosed "the freedom" of various cities
