Colonial Williamsburg part 3, by Sam



A neat fact about those times in the Virginia colony was that the kitchens were always a separate building, that way if it caught fire the house wouldn't burn down.


I recommend visiting Colonial Williamsburg because the buildings are impressive, the guided visits were interesting, and the reenactments were great. We were there two days and didn't see everything. If you do go, I think you should visit the printer, the apothecary, the tavern (which was were meals were served and people stayed overnight -sometimes sleeping on the floor and even with strangers!) and the guardhouse. I would visit again if I could!

Oh - people are wondering if it is warm yet? Not so much. The locals are complaining about how cold it is and running around in wool hats. We aren't complaining - I guess it is snowing again at home.

    Bon après-midi!

    C'est une bonne idée d'avoir séparé tes informations en trois parties. Car tu en avais beaucoup. Ce fut fort instructif.

    Quelle sera la prochaine étape du voyage?
    Lucie :-)

    Bon matin à vous quatre!

    J'ai bien aimé les 3 parties moi aussi Sam, c'était une très bonne idée! Ça devait être vraiment intéressant comme visite. C'est un endroit que je prendrais le temps de visiter moi aussi.

    En passant, une chance que ma cuisine n'est pas dans un bâtiment indépendant de la maison, je serais SOUVENT absente!!! :)

    À la prochaine!

    I would love to visit. I love the buildings and I bet they are beautiful inside. Funny, I thought the kitchens were separate because it got so hot in there especially in the summer. Your way makes more sense!
