My visit to the Iowa State Capitol

So, I was stopping in Des Moines to break a trip from Minnesota to Missouri last week, and this happened. Enjoy!

I wished I could have photographed the smell of this library.

A detail from the House of Representatives chamber, which I was able to enter because a tour guide was leading a group through it.

Legislators apparently have mailboxes in this little post office inside the Capitol.

The Supreme Court.

The House of Representatives. Sorry, I couldn't get inside the Senate.

The U.S.S. Iowa, scale replica.
