This is my last day at the College of William and Mary. I will be driving home tomorrow. It has been a fruitful time away, and I am ready to return to the parish and academy.
If you enjoy history, Colonial Williamsburg is a great place to visit. The original eighteenth century town has been restored. Most of the buildings have guided tours and artisans do their work for all to see. The mile walk down the main road, Duke of Gloucester Street, is quite scenic and like being transported back in time. Plan to spend at least two days here; three are better.
