A School of Public Service located on the grounds of the Washington National Cathedral is not going to miss the chance to explore two iconic D.C. buildings: the U.S. Capitol Building and the Washington National Cathedral (specifically, the Bell Tower). On Tuesday, SPS got the ultimate "insider" tour of the Cathedral, getting to ascend the Cathedral Bell Tower and emerge on the roof of the Cathedral itself!

On Wednesday, SPS 2013 headed for to Capitol Hill for a Q&A session with Congressman Frank Pallone of New Jersey, followed by a tour of the beautiful and historic Capitol Building. Hard to say which building impressed SPS 2013 more!
