California State Capitol Building

For running what would be the 8th largest economy in the word if California was its own county, the state capitol building is a remarkably low-key affair.  There are not throngs of tourists and getting through security was quick and painless on a Sunday morning.    Inside, one can really notice the difference between the newer sections of the building and the stately feel of the original structure.  Unlike the capitol building in DC, this one feels like its part of the city rather than an island.   One can easily walk across the street and get a cup of coffee.
