Williamsburg day 2

Weather is still humid but it seems to be clearing. The sun actually showed itself around 11 am.

Today we divided into 4 groups and had a guided tour of the town. In and out of various buildings including the capitol, the print shop and the builder. The docents are great with the kids and really bring the flavor of the 18th century to life.

I especially liked it when the kids took turns bringing up a bucket of water from the well. It took 3 students and the guide to pull up one bucket. During colonial times it tool one person numerous times a day to bring up the water.

Lunchtime then it's on to Jamestown.
