Day 2 continues

Next stop the Capitol. Liz made the arrangements through the Texas Congressman Ralph Hall. We had our picture made with him and two members of his staff took us on a tour.


 

The human bridge, Tanner.

Just had to take a picture of my favorite food, Chocolate, in it's raw form of course.

Next stop, the National Botanic Garden! All I can say is Beautiful!!! i will show you a few examples if the interent cooperates.

While at the museum, we went to the resturant to sample food from the different regions. I of course has a fry bread taco with buffalo chili. To our great surprise, a group of young adults came in and there was Travis!!. He is attending a leadership conference at the American College. I just had to have my picture taken with him.

I was a little disapponted about the amount of information on the Cherokees. The exhibit contained information about Sequoyah and had a few artifacts but not much on the Trail of Tear

Gold! Gold! So this is what the white man white man saw and decided they had to have it. The Indians were just using what they had to create their accesories.

Okay, here's the scoop. We didn't get back to the hotel last night until around 9:30 and my battery in the camera was completely dead. I had to charge it a little in order to download the pics. Then the internet wasn't being kind so I decided to wait until this morning to finish the post. Well as you can see it didn't like being put on hold so it wouldn't let me add anything to it so here we are, day 2 continued. Here is my little Indian nephew Tanner in front of a whaling boat used by the Northwest Coast Indians.
