Appomattox

At Matthew’s advice, we got up at 5:30 and packed up right away, forgoing our morning routine in the hopes of beating the traffic. The early start was a bit of a stretch, not because it’s all that early, but because our campsite was under a tree. And it rained all night. And it protected us from the rain, UNTIL there was a little wind and it sounded like we were being pounded by a FLEET of bouncing betty land mines. Right over our heads.

We were a little sleepy, but it was worth it. We sailed right through town, and picked up tea and a croissant at Starbucks on the other side of town.

Unfortunately the rain was unrelenting. The countryside was beautiful, but when we arrived at Appomattox we were not inspired to explore very much. We contented ourselves with a beautiful drive and a few photos.Leggi altro
