Historic Williamsburg - Day 2
20 novembre 2018, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
A sunny, clear day. Enjoyed visiting with other tradesman like the barber and the wig maker. Enjoyed a delightful outdoor play about a female astronomer Caroline Herschel, born in 1750, who discovered several comets.

Also, enjoyed an interactive presentation with President Thomas Jefferson. We were told by people sitting beside us that this Jefferson was the best and would soon be retiring.Leggi altro

Historic Williamsburg
19 novembre 2018, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
Our first day wandering the streets of this historic city. Spent time with the tradesmen in their shops. Saw great interactive theatre at the Capitol where we participated in events leading up to the moment Virginia said yes to independence.

At the courthouse, sat in on some re-enactments of actual cases brought before the court at Williamsburg. One was a man who had not attended church in a month 😳.

My favorite was a play about the complex relationship between Jefferson and Jupiter. They started out friends as little boys but ended as servant and master. The actors wrote the play as well.

Watched the fife and drum corps as they performed on the courthouse green as the sun set.Leggi altro

Ghosts Amongst Us
19 novembre 2018, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
A nighttime walk thru Williamsburg with stops in some of the candle lit historic rooms where we were told a ghost story from the period. As we began our walk the fog rolled in creating quite the atmosphere.Leggi altro

Tools of the Trade
21 agosto 2016, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F
These are the tools of the trade for a silversmith back in the days of Colonial Williamsburg. Using these simple bits of metal, the craftsmen working here are able to turn out such beautiful works of art.Leggi altro

Bang the Drum
21 agosto 2016, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F
A lot of these drums were in the armory, along with all the weaponry. I'm thinking that they were just in storage for when Colonial Williamsburg has parades and things. I was hoping that we would see one of the parades or the American revolution reenactments but they didn't do it while we were there. I guess that sort of thing during the crowded summer months.Leggi altro

The Silversmith
21 agosto 2016, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F
The silver workers shop seemed to be the most realistic depiction of life in Colonial Williamsburg, at least their daily life as I imagined it to be. The jewelry and silver they were making was really for sale and everything was hand made the old fashioned way. The people working there looked as if they had stepped out of a history book, not just their clothes but their whole look and demeanor. I really liked the silversmith shop!Leggi altro

The Little Details
21 agosto 2016, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
These are the sort of details I had mentioned before. While riding by on the carriage, you would probably miss seeing all this moss growing on the roofs of nearly every building here. This really gives the buildings a lot of character and helps convey that old colonial era look.Leggi altro

Saint John's Episcopal Curch - Richmond
18 novembre 2018, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
The church where Patrick Henry gave his famous “Give me liberty, or give me death” speech. Unfortunately, we arrived too late for the tour. Will do that when we head back to Richmond on Wednesday.

Going in Style
21 agosto 2016, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
Riding around in this horse drawn carriage looks like it would be a lot of fun, especially on a hot and humid day like we're having now. We're walking though. As enjoyable as a carriage ride might be, I don't want to miss anything here while we're seeing Colonial Williamsburg. I don't think that the carriage driver would be willing to keep stopping the horses and let me get in and out of the carriage every time I wanted to get a closer look at something.Leggi altro

Hardee's or Carl's Jr?
22 agosto 2016, Stati Uniti ⋅ 🌙 75 °F
After leaving we stopped at Hardee's for dinner. Although they call themselves Hardee's, this is Carl's Jr to me. I don't know why this is one company and they use two different names. One the west coast they are known as Carl's Jr and in the south they are called Hardee's.
Carl's Jr is one of my favorite fast food places but, unfortunately, they don't have any locations in New York. In fact, there's no Carl's Jr anywhere in the Northeast. So, this is another "vacation restaurant" and eating here is a real treat for me.
Sadly, dinner here was not as good as I had hoped it would be. Our burgers we're very dry, as if they were made a while ago and were left sitting under heat lamps for a long time, drying them out completely. Our fries were great, but the burgers left a lot to be desired. Such a disappointment! Hopefully my next visit to Carl's Jr will be a lot better. They really let me down tonight.Leggi altro
