Union Station

A breathtaking view on my way home from work. After a long nine hour shift I look forward to the walk to the shuttle. I am big on trees. Tall, short, skinny, bald - they are like little messengers coming from the depths of the planet. Reminding us how lucky we are to be able to walk, talk, breath. They are benevolent. Always sharing their oxygen and beauty for us to admire. Starting off as a tiny seed, struggling on their way up, breaking land, and blossoming into fruitful beings who will be around longer than us. I learn a lot from them. Is that weird?

I love this picture. The old fashion light post, the way the trees frame the building in the foreground, and the mysterious lighting. The quality isn't terrific because it was taken on my phone.

What you see in the background is the Union Station. The closet train stop to the Senate buildings, Capitol, and the House. Want to hear the best part?

There is a MALL inside of this stop. A MALL, I have been strong for the past ten days and refused to lose myself inside the mall. Because I will go broke in a heart beat. From what I hear they have a Nine West, Victoria Secret, Express, and other cool stores in there. Lots of yummy restaurants too. From the Washington Center it is about a 15-20 minute walk. There is a shuttle that drives us interns there every 20 minutes and get you there in less than 10 minutes. So, if you get a job on the Hill taking the shuttle to the Union stop would be best. The shuttle drops you off there and the Senate buildings are five minutes away.

The mini walk is refreshing. On the way to work in the morning and on the way home at 6:00 p.m.
