Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.

The library of Congress is not a restaurant, and no I am not blogging about food today. But sometimes when one is tired of studying in one set environment, one tends to search for a brand new environment. Friends and I stopped by the main reading room inside the Madison building of the library of congress. After going through a series of security check, obtaining an identification card that are only used to enter the reading rooms, checked our coats and bags, we finally stepped into the main reading room. It reminds me of the center of a cross in catholic churches. We couldn't help but looking up at the arched vaults and the sculptures of gods that were overlooking at us. The environment was very serious, so serious that is was almost distracting. It was a beautiful room, but it definitely takes some time to get use to.
