"I am a part of all that I have met; yet all experience is an arch wherethro' gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades for ever and for ever when I move."

It's Raining, It's Pouring ...

Day Two at Williamsburg was very wet. It didn't rain all day, but one minute it would be raining and the next the sun would be shining. Once again, we crammed in everything we could possible do in one day. One of the highlights involved a carriage ride around Colonial Williamsburg. The driver was named Lee and was great. He told us all about transportation in Virginia in the 1790s. Another hit was the jail. This jail and cell was where Blackbeard's pirates were housed before execution by the Colonial Virginia government. One that was found innocent later became the source for Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stephenson.


We headed back to the motel for a swim and rest. We need a relaxing, non-demanding evening.
