Tour d’Joko: Embracing Capitolism

I enjoy visiting museums, historical sites and significant buildings.  It’s odd that in 4 years living in Seattle, I have not, until today, taken in our state capitol, a mere 80 miles or so south in the city of Olympia.

In a word, it was “quaint”.



Part Two of my adventure today was far more exciting, but I’ve yet to edit the video for that journey.

    I’ve lived in Missouri for 51 years and I’ve never even seen our Capital building let alone been to Jefferson City. I have however seen the Capital building in Iowa many times. I used to have some pictures of it, but they are long gone. Here’s one I found of it on Google. I’m jealous.
