Baton Rouge Trip

We just returned from a weekend trip to Baton Rouge, La. Although a work-related trip, we were able to explore the town on Saturday. We visited the Louisiana State Capitol, which at 34 stories is the tallest U.S. capitol building, built in 1932. There are beautiful gardens surrounding the Capitol and the grounds also include the grave of former Gov. Huey P. Long, who was assassinated there in 1935. (More info on the Capitol, http://www.crt.state.la.us/tourism/capitol/capitol.htm). While we were there, others present were also gaping at the huge building, which has beautiful, symbolic architecture in the Art Deco style.
