On Monday we had a tour of the Capitol Building. It was cool. Our guide, Andrew, was very informative. The big dome in the middle weighed like 9 million pounds. African American slaves built it a long time ago:
We went to a room called the "Crypt" where George Washington was supposed to be buried. George wasn't in the coffin because his family didn't want him to be buried there. The pillars were made of brick covered in plaster and they supported the rotunda above it. Here is a picture of it.
