First, I need to apologize. Our blog has been extremely neglected. Prior to writing this post, I thought of a few excuses but will spare the space and rather, simply pick-up where we left off.

I asked one “character” a question and he went on and on answering as if it were way back when. We spent the day perusing the lovely shops and picturesque streets adorned in colonial Christmas decor.

They’ve done a wonderful job of making Jamestown interactive and capturing the lifestyles of both the “settlers” and the Indians. We were lucky enough to visit during the food festival.
