Today we visit the Old Post Office Pavilion, on Pennsylvania Avenue. We recommend you use the Federal Triangle metro stop to get there.

We happened to do this podcast (and several others) on the day of a major anti war rally on the mall. We bring you some of the sounds (and sights, if you look at the photo album) of this experience! (0:54)

Once past the anti-war rally, we make our way to the Post Office Pavilion, and admire the statue of Franklin in front of the Pavilion. (8:03)

We get a chance to get an introduction to the building and it's history from Park Ranger Marcia Phillips. (9:23)

Returning to the building, we head for the tower, going via a number of exhibits and information about the building. (16:21)

We play Right Again by Maryland singer Cheri Arnett. This comes to us courtesy of the Podsafe Music Network. (20:35)

Once inside the observatin deck, we enjoy the view, despite the obstruction by steel wires (you can see the issue on our pictures). We visit the information on the Congress Bells, and see the bells themselves. (24:40)

Back on the ground, we finish up by enjoying an ice cream cone in the food court. (34:51)
