So, el V takes us out to dinner. I wasn't up to planning and doing all that is done for dinner tonight.
Besides we had to discuss how we wanted to do our upcoming travel.
Richmond, Virginia first, we're thinking. There is no question, this is historic / museum Richmond. We're looking to find out which are the best historic tours. Contemporary Richmond isn't unworthy, it's just our mission is the past.
No matter though, we won't be finding this - and likely it wasn't there even during the time it was painted; it's impossible not to notice when you plug "Historic Richmond" into Google images, not a figure of color is to be found. All those people in the kitchens making that delicious Virginia food -- they are all period costumed white people. Whereas, historically, it's fairly safe to say that for centuries those kitchens did not have any white people cooking in them
We probably will visit our friends in Charlottesville (hometown for Monticello) before heading back.
Followed a few weeks later by Charleston and, maybe, Savannah. The same holds for them as for Richmond.
