Good to hear about DC. I did military service there at nearby Ft. Myer which is divided in two by the tomb of the unknown soldier. Used to bycycle daily to the Smithsonian but saw only a very small part of it regardless of how many times I went there. Your mom's selfie at the Wall meant a lot to me. Tell her thanks. Your library card should make a fine souvenier. Who knows, you might have the opportunity to use it again sometime. There is a World War II museum in New Orleans you might find interesting and worthwhile if time and opportunity permits. Thanks for sharing yopr adventures.
I remember our one experience at the Library of Congress; our Peace Corps reunion was held there in 2001. Your photos show just how unique it is. GJ
