A Trip Across The James

The day Leslie and I went to Williamsburg, we had to go across the James River. It is SO wide that it looks sometimes like you are looking at the ocean. This is the area where the settlers landed and set up housekeeping in this part of the world at Jamestown.

While we waited for the ferry to come pick us up, I had fun watching the seagulls. I wonder why they are all facing the same way.

 

Once aboard we got out of the car and enjoyed the cool breeze as we crossed the water. And, of course, we took pictures.

Here are some more pictures I took while we strolled the streets of Colonial Williamsburg.

 

You find pretty little gardens tucked in here and there amid the houses.

 

I loved this doorway. Many of the houses are individually owned and as tempting as it would be to live in a huge, old house in that setting I don't think I would want tons of people walking by staring into my yard.... or taking a picture of my doorway.

 

This is the Bowden-Armistead house, another view

 

 

A lot of times, on Monday, I post a tip form the 'Secrets of Longevity' book that I am reading.

Today the info was on 'Stop Eating Dead Foods'. Do you ever wonder how many days it took for your food to reach you. By the time it gets to your table the nutrients are about gone. And, they have been preserved (to make the long trip) with nitrogen and other artificial means. While in the field they are treated with pesticides and artificial fertilizers. It just makes you question what it is you are really putting in your mouth... or have you ever thought about it.

Buy local meats and vegetables whenever possible. Buy organic if you can. We are poisoning our bodies with chemicals and these things can make you sick. Be healthy, eat healthy food.
