Williamsburg & Jamestown


We arrived in Williamsburg in the evening, checked into our very charming Inn and had a lovely dinner, then headed out for a candlelit "ghost tour". Our guide looked like a Colonel Sanders in his younger years (and with his hair down). He obviously enjoyed his job--told us all about the haunted places in town and the meaning of a few phrases (ask us about "earmarked" and "dead ringer". It was good to go back in the daylight and find the town not so scary at all and still full of Revolutionary zeal. I think we even saw George Washington himself! We planned to spend out last couple of hours at Jamestown but when we got there is was closed due to a power outage. Doesn't seem fair since Pochantas never had power.
