Decided today to top up our Colonial Williamsburg visit with a couple of bits we'd missed. Ha! We spent nearly the whole day there!
The first thing we'd missed was the tour round the Governor's Palace so we made this the first port of call. Upon entry to the courtyard, you're asked to sit on benches to await the start - during this time, one of the "enactors" gives you an entertaining and interesting briefing - you enjoy waiting! The palace itself was also good but, ultimately, it's a house with period things in it. Without a doubt, we're beginning to realise that the magic of Williamsburg is the population of enactors livng out their roles - fantastic.
We visited the Museum to see the guy who played Thomas Jefferson again. He is brilliant - again, like "Washington" yesterday, he takes questions from the audience. After his peroration, he was even happy to pose for photos - I also saw him inscribing a book for someone, that's how convincing he is.
With these events and a look around, before we knew it, it was 5 pm - another day gone!
