Through the Halls of Congress and a few tunnels too.

Today, for the first time in literally decades, I was back on Capitol Hill walking around the House Office Buildings where I used to work. I managed to check in on my old offices (the physical rooms where I used to work) but other than that most things have changed a bit. I did take a few tunnels between the office buildings, and managed to show you the Congressman's subway train that runs to the US Capitol. We also saw a number of motorcades zipping around downtown, such as the Dutch PM Mark Rutte who was in town visiting Biden, along with a look at one of the relics of the George Floyd protests next to the White House finally being repaired after a couple years.

Show not Tell.

PenguinSix is an apolitical guy in a political town who likes to walk a lot. He has hiked over 17,000 miles (27,000kms) in the past six years and is still walking today. He is an American expat who spent the last decade in Hong Kong with his family and is now back in Washington DC, continuing his daily ritual of taking very long hikes around the city catching the sights and sounds of the city while live streaming to share with others. History, culture, life as an expat (with reverse culture shock), and the pitiful Chinese food in Washington DC are regular topics of discussion.
