We woke on Thursday to a text from Richard saying he was stuck in Majorca due to a volcanic eruption. A bit of investigation on BBC revealed what he was talking about, as the US news channels weren't really covering it yet.
We headed back into Willamsburg for another wander, then onto Jamestown which is a beautiful place in the Springtime. You can imagine landing there, thinking this is brilliant - temperate climate, water accessible, friendly natives...then getting through Summer (scorching temperatures, high humidity, mosquitoes that try to gnaw your arm off - and it was on a swamp so loads of those!) and Winter with its freeze your bits off cold temperatures!!!
I was most impressed with the statue of Pocahontas. It was a lovely statue. But what impressed me most was where the verdigris was rubbed off....which was only on her hands and arms!! I can guarantee you that if that statue was in the UK she would have shiny boobs!!!
After driving back to Old Town we met Paul and Kristen in O'Connells for drinks then dinner. We were talking about the smoking ban in VA which means that we could sit in O'Connells front bar without suffering from smoke inhalation. A pleasant change indeed!
