| Colonial Williamsburg |
It was a perfect fall day for a stroll through Colonial Williamsburg. The day started with brunch at
Trellis Restaurant which was highly recommended by our neighbors, Frank & Carolyn, and what an outstanding restaurant it was. George noted...here we are in a high end American restaurant that is painted the color you would expect in a Mexican restaurant, listening to Christmas music!
If you haven't been, Colonial Williamsburg is a villiage re-created as close as possible to the way it was in the early 1600's. In fact, a lot of the buildings were re-built on the same exact foundations. The people who work there wear period clothing which makes you feel like you have gone back in time....until you come to
Merchants Square which is full of modern day stores and up-scale restaurants. Also, there are outdoor portable theatre productions performed by solo actors which move about the area.

We walked up and down every street until we were about to drop so we moved on to
Colonial National Historical Park in Jamestown. It was really strange knowing you were walking on the same ground that Pocahantas, John Smith and other early settlers walked some 400 years ago. There is an archeological dig going on at the site searhing for period artifacts. I especically enjoyed the church where John Rolfe and Pocahantas were alleged to have been married.
