Friday, July 1





















Proud to be an American! Today we spent the day in Williamsburg and Yorktown. We met many interesting characters and saw what life was like when America first began. Everyone kept telling us how hard life was then. We tried to grind some corn, watched as Patrick Henry stirred the crowd, listened to local gossip from the woman who was in charge of the house slaves at the Governor's palace and agreed that we are much happier in the present. One funny thing that happened was we found a lens cover for the camera! Loyal Brown Girls followers will remember that last trip we sent the lens cover to our camera to swim with the fishes, somehow the fishes were able to return it to us - Halleluiah!

We arrived at Yorktown with just enough time to watch the final showing of the film that talked about Yorktown's importance in our history. We took a leisurely driving tour of the battlefields including Surrender Field. It was an historic day.

We got back late this evening, took a short swim and agreed that we are all pretty tired. It must have been the blazing sun that took it all out of us :)
