SKYPE from Washington Monument

 

Well we had a couple glitches, but we pulled off SKYPING from the highest point in DC with E-Pod in Butte County Juvenile Hall today!
No building in DC is allowed to be higher than the Washington Monument. It was the highest structure in the entire world until then Eiffel Tower was built and then an even higher Empire State Building. The building of the Washington Monument was put on hold for 20 years because there was a lack of funding. Due to a change in the quarry used for the stone 20 years later and weathering since, there is a shift in color at 150 feet!
