After Richmond we headed to Williamsburg where we are fortunate to have wonderful friends who provided us with a very comfortable place to stay and excellent food; we enjoyed intelligent conversation (and some of the "do you remember..." kind of talk. Aside from all that, Kathleen and Glen spent an entire day taking us around colonial Williamsburg. Thanks - I am sure there was a bridge and/or a golf game that had your name on it!
Many of Williamsburg's buildings have been reconstructed on the basis of the surviving brick foundations (a requirement for all buildings after the fire that destroyed the first buildings in the 17th century.) and historical and archeological research. |
Below a picture of the current excavation of the foundation of a kitchen adjacent to the blacksmith shop.
The weapons magazine (Glen and Kathleen happen to sit on either side of the docent.) The Capitol and its very eloquent and interesting guide (in the pictures below)
