Another busy day draws to a close. Astronomical pancakes, colonial Williamsburg, the mall, home cooked supper and then a parish film night. Lovely to see Joe and Mel. Tomorrow we head off!

Hot, sunny, gorgeous with just the most amazing scenery. Today we visited Jamestown and Yorktown. How do the 'mericans get so excited about Brits when we were public enemy no.1?! The history was interesting but the margarita was better! Rounded off with a trip to an enormous Walmart (classier than Asda!)

On leaving Washington, we visited Mount Vernon. Very pretty estate - not what I expected. Onwards to the Potomac Mills - 'mericans are not great at road signs. Then we pootled down to Williamsburg, somewhat slower than anticipated. Why did no one warn me about refuelling??! Lovely to be with Mel again!
