We were supposed to have left on Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006, but
on that day the wind and rain were blowing hard enough to simulate a mini-hurricane.
Instead, we got on the road on Thanksgiving Day, and spent a couple
of days in historical Virginia, visiting Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown
National Historic Site, and Yorktown National Battlefield Park. This
was a chance to learn about our Revolutionary War History; to visit the
place where Pocahontas turned cartwheels inside the "Olde Towne"
at Jamestown and to walk upon the field where Brigadier General Charles
O'Harra surrendered Cornwallis' sword and the British Army to Brigadier
General Benjamin Lincoln at Yorktown. Generals George Washington and
Rochambeau witnessed the surrender.
