No wonder I normally take the Metro in to DC (and I&#8217;ve been here &gt; 5 years!). Anyway, we ended up close to the Library of Congress, and the <a title=\"Folger Shakespeare Library\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.folger.edu\/\">Folger Shakespeare Library<\/a>, so we stopped in the Folger. The Library itself is closed to the general public, but they do have a long corridor with some exhibits. One of the permanent exhibits is a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bozweb.com\/pix\/folger1\/\">First Folio of Shakespeare, from 1623<\/a>. Turns out the Folger holds one-third of the existing copies of the First Folios of Shakespeare&#8217;s plays. One of them they keep on permanent display. I didn&#8217;t have a mono or tripod with me, but I took a couple of pictures. As a book collector, it was cool to be this close to the first printed edition of some of the greatest works in English. The kids were less impressed, at least until I told them it was almost 400 years old. Later in the day as Dylan was telling Kirsten about the visit, he mentioned &#8220;and we saw this really old book, like 100,000 years old&#8221;.
