On Thursday we went to Williamsburg. The Virginia Historical Society has protected about a mile square called "Colonial Williamburg". There are lots of old houses, the original Governor's mansion (for the early British governor's) and the original capital building. After P. Henry and T. Jefferson served as governor's, the capital moved to Richmond. At Colonial Williamsburg, which you pay to see, the town has actors dressed up in original costumes (picture) and they reinact the decisions for Virginia to join the original congress and vote for independence. Also, in Williamsburg, is the College

Today (Friday) we tried to go to a National race, but the weather did not cooperate. Tropical storm Hanna has struck and is dropping rain and wind. We are expecting 4 inches of rain and wind up to 40 mph tonight. The races have been postponed until Sunday.
