Monticello

We took our time and enjoyed the morning, leaving for Monticello about 10:00. We are not proud of it, but circumstances continued to mount and finally we turned tail without seeing the house. Weather was not good for visiting the grounds, we missed the tour by 5 minutes and the next one was in an hour, the place was PACKED with cars and busses and PEOPLE! (What were we thinking … PEOPLE!! Recall small city trope cited earlier.) And to top it off, Heather was getting decidedly peckish … as in she might peck something inappropriate if she didn’t get to eat IN FIVE MINUTES!

We headed into town in search of lunch.Läs mer
