Today we visited the Newseum and then did our own thing. What I really liked about the Newseum was not only the old historical importance the media has certainly played in shaping American history, but the many artifacts were very cool. When I saw the KDKA microphone on display, I became very happy. For personal reasons, that hit my heart in a special way. I was especially impressed with the many old documents on display. They had many books that I have long had much interest in. One of which was Common Sense. Although the computers were able to pull up old newspapers from many major events of the past, I was a little disappointed in the inability for them to pull up other events, I thought were important periods in history.
This afternoon, I searched endlessly for some fresh baked milles feuilles with no success. I think the people of Washington are deprived of good French pasteries. I am really excited about tomorrow’s concert with Springsteen. I have been to one of his concerts, but almost all of his songs on my ipod. Now I am deciding at what time I should leave to this event. I have heard estimates of millions of people attending.
