USA: Tourists happy with the end of the "shutdown"

With the agreement found in Congress on the budget and the debt ceiling, American officials were able to get back to work and Washington came back to life.

A boon for tourists, prevented from visiting monuments, galleries and museums, for two weeks.

Many have made thousands of kilometres:

"Well, I must say that I am very glad that the Government has finally said that we can visit the beautiful museums and art galleries in Washington, because we came from Southeast Australia, Victoria, and took 35 hours to get here".

"I'm very excited because we leave on Sunday and while we're still here, we can see everything and go to the Smithsonian Museum and other places."

But the Americans know that this is only a temporary solution and that in two months may find themselves in the same situation.

Barack Obama tries to capitalize, referring to the losses that the shutdown imposed to the economy. The Vice-President, Joe Biden, in a charming operation has been receiving some employees back to work.
