WILLIAMSBURG, VA.

We left Surf City, SC early & enjoyed the back roads of SC & NC arriving early afternoon at Lainers RV Park in Williamsburg, Va. a 300 mile move. We found $1.88 diesel this AM. The pump was so slow I filled from both sides...getting out of my routine I apparently forgot to put the right side fuel cap on. After getting set up at the campground I discovered all the above. The Honda was covered with a film of diesel. So we were able to do three things this afternoon. 1 purchase a new fuel cap. 2. Run the Honda through a car wash. 3. Visit the Williamsburg Visitor Center & purchase our tickets for the next day to tour the Williamsburg Historic Village dating back to the early 1700s. The Rockefeller Foundation has done a complete job of purchasing all the properties & putting them into the historic village. The Governors mansion for the period is on the right.
The Foundation uses both paid employs that are in costume & volunteers to guide visitors through the village. Here we are being addressed by Thomas Jefferson. To get to the village you park at the Visitor Center & shuttle buses take you around to various bus stops.
We toured various homes for the period that have all been restored.

An enactment occurs later in the afternoon where the Governor addresses the Colony the British were taxing the Colonies and that they had no voice.

The Governor's addresses the colony of Williamsburg dissovling the House of Burgesses. Because of the Boston Tea Party taxation events. History in the making.

Williamsburg is well done complete with a full city of shops and restaurants that we didn't visit. We felt it was well worth our time to visit the Historic village & Visitor Center. You can spent days here.
