Your painting of Stede with the message in the bottle is exquisite.

I can't imagine the pressure you must be under today with all of us banging your door down for a print of this.

If you decide not to make it into a print, I'd like to print it out on photo stock and hang it in my home. I will make sure to put a credit line on it. If you object, I understand.

This painting goes beyond fandom for me. It reminds me of Andrew Wyeth, and even a bit like Hopper in his Gloucester days.

I love your work so much ... for me this hits differently. Thank you for sharing your gift and bringing beauty into my life (and Michael Sheen's! Wowza!). xoxo

Akasha

Thank you so much, that's very kind :')❤️ It's now in my Redbubble shop, but I'm always fine with people printing my stuff out for themselves ☺️❤️

thank you so much for the compliments! really happy you like the painting! the moment i saw the photo i knew i had to do it xD❤️

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, TUMBLR?!?!?!

Dear Tumblr, I am so sorry for everything. Really. I am part of the problem.

First off, I am sorry for the #PornVibesStrong moment that Twitter ROBBED you of during and prior to the Trump Administration (and who knows, perhaps now). Didn't Trump shut you down? Something happened. I can't remember. But I know that wow, what a time. This time however? This is another time. A time which feels like no time or space are we existing. Just maybe. If anyone can understand what that means of feels like to think or say. The post Covid existence being this constant alternate universe, time warp fuckery I can't quite seem to pinpoint with a term defining. Listening to "Head Over Heels" right now by Tears For Fears feels appropriate. It just has that sound to it ya know. Especially when it shows up in Donnie Darko. OMG. DOES NOT THE POST COVID WORLD FEEL LIKE DONNIE DARKO???? I know this much. Wait hold on..... Ok I had to go and quickly skim the lyrics to that song as final line of the song played... "Funny how time flies....". It really is all connected.

I haven't written in forever. Not like this. Not through the vessel that is you dearest Tumblr. I have abandoned my original venting/creative space-preferred via the digital realm. It's all beyond a bit much; to say the least. As of this exact moment, trying to rid myself of the physical foot print being my last four years. A mental health decline in late 2018 where life didn't seem one worth living, yet still trucking through creative projects and feeling connected to "the muses" whoever they are. Entities undisclosed, yet carrying me. An overpowering of dark forces bringing me to feelings of wanting to simply NOT EXIST. I wouldn't say I was suicidal, but how many steps can we possibly be before thoughts turn transcend actions. So I kind of acquired an art gallery of my friends in the earlier months of 2019 which then turns into my quite literally manifested 2nd Hand Shop which I simply called "Paul's Closet". In this post Covid world I am left with what seems to be endless items now making up my brand name switch to a less than desireable to some "2nd Hand HoE". I know right. Who doesn't want to shop there?

2nd Hand HoE is a less than acceptably managed resale shop out of my office space in my hometown of Gloucester, MA. Yup. This is where I'm at. I mean it's not THAT bad. I'm working the sidewalk/vestibule/stairwell which leads to a second-level office building consisting of office space for commercial use. It's been a long and wild 3 years being back and forth between here and my apartment in Peabody just about 15 miles away. A shared space with my ex partner. The poor dude. Sorry Alex. Haha. Yeah, No. It was a great 3 years. A wild learning experience with a friend unlike any I'd ever had. Relationships can be intense. Cohabited relationships even more so if not the right time and place. And space. Hold this space my dear lover. Ugh I'm gonna shart my jorts. Honestly. I'm so lost. Like what am I doing. WAIT, I know....... DUH. I'm reintroducing myself into the strong relationship I once had with the Tumbz. I see you Tumbzi, and I know you see #metoo.

Anyhoozers, I was all up in my feelitos, and I don't even know what the fuck made me think of it but I was like, what should I do? Just sit here anal cav deep in my iPhone swiping between apps slash doom scrolling and being envious of others' shit???? NO. Ufck That dumb stuff. I need to recreate my life. Will I this time? Well, hope the fuck so. The universe will always work out the shit it needs to but I would like to be a little bit of a commander in this simulation as well. I mean that's only fair right? Most would say so. I have discipline issues. I'm afraid to take chances. I'm afraid of what everyone thinks of me. It's ridiculous. I hate the internet, and all these things I hate and am afraid of are the things I'm supposed to connect to and through to be anything worth anything in a capitalist world right? I don't even know what I'm saying right now. I just know that I need to speak or type or write or whatever the fahhhhhk is on my mind or else the wheels will turn and spin right off the track. Or shall we say, Tumbl off course.

of course.

The World of Peter Rabbit and friends is my childhood and my special interest, so I was so excited to finally watch Peter Rabbit 2.

Here are some of the highlights:

Thomas is literally the best character. He's a bisexual disaster, infodumps about printing, loves his wife, loves his rabbit children. I could write an essay on how he is the perfect man. I want to marry both him and his wife and live in the country together with all the animals. That's the dream.

Since I love the original books so much, everytime I saw a returning character, I freaked out. Literally every five seconds I was like:

Peter rabbit walking through wet cement while a squirrel sings Boulevard of Broken Dreams? Cinematic masterpiece.

Protect the Tailor of Gloucester at all costs. Give him all the sausages.

I am still not over the filmmakers killing off Peter's mother. His father died in the original, but not her. Josephine was a queen. An icon.

Mrs Tiggywinkle does not fear death. Death fears Mrs Tiggywinkle.

Benjamin Bunny is totally ok with his cousin hooking up with an older man. But a criminal? Definitely not!

Jeremy Fisher is literally a king. Words cannot express the love I have for this frog. I would die for him.

Fun fact: In the original books, Flopsy and Benjamin get married and have babies together. They are cousins.

All the hidden references to the books!! Ginger and Pickles Shop! Piperton pets! The tailor of Gloucester! I love the little details!

Pigling Bland is still the distinguished gay he's been since 1913. All he needs now is his lesbian girlfriend Pig Wig so they can laugh and judge others together. Please. I miss her.

I'm still clinging onto the hope that Mr Bouncer will appear one day. Him and Tabitha Twitchett.

Speaking of Tabitha, does she know that two of her kittens are in a gang??

And Tom Kitten??? Why are you in a gang with Samuel Whiskers???? Remember when he literally tried to eat you???

Johnny Townmouse mentions having a wife and lots of babies. I guess his long distance relationship with Timmy Willie didn't work out. What a pity.

Those are all the thoughts I have for now. Knowing my obsession, I will probably make more lol.

I hope this preview of my piece for the Rose Zine sparks any amount of excitement in you, because I'm so excited to share it! I had the pleasure of writing an intimate piece with Lorenz and Hilda.

[ID: Black print on a white background surrounded by a purple and gold border. It reads: Rose of Gloucester Lorenz Hellman Gloucester Zine.

“I’ll be grey by then,” she teased, pinching him so that he squinted through a smile.

“Then I will be smitten by grey, and white, and wrinkles, and crows feet,” he declared with increasing urgency, as Hilda forced him onto his back. Her kisses were light, and she led his hands purposefully to the back of her neck, and Lorenz understood to pull her down towards himself. She wanted to be wanted, but her fear of being clumsy in action extended into her fear of being clumsy with words. A fear that he, perhaps, should have valued more in himself at times, but not now, when he could be silly, and amorous, and accepted.

He rolled them onto their sides, and struggled out of the majority of his remaining clothing, as removing his smallclothes would set both he and Hilda to being far more careful than necessary; and so long as she was being patient with him, he wanted more than their fated tumble between the sheets. /End ID]

18 January 1998

Classes were due to start this next week and I knew the bruising was just starting to fade. And while we'd been checked out, and everything was in pretty good shape considering the blows I’d taken, the pain was still very real.

And I needed to go down to London.

I gently prodded at them, hissing at the pain. Even I was surprised I managed to avoid too much damage, as I winced at my reflection.

The nightmares weren’t helping either. Most nights that I wasn’t actively observing ended with me gasping and in cold sweat. Tea was also fairly common, with me nursing a mug until my heartrate slowed enough to go back to sleep.

By that point, it was generally light out and I tended to take advantage and putter around the flat, before heading over to the school. From there, various small errands to myself busy and just not think.

I glanced at my watch. 10.30. I should go down to London.

- - -

The train ride went smoothly, though Kings Cross sent my paranoia skyrocketing. I avoided jumping stations, feeling too worn to successfully pull it off. And I knew I was already garnering looks from the passengers around me.

I missed Aldgate. And I didn’t realise it until the train reached Gloucester Road, and I groaned. Exiting the train, I waited for the one heading in the opposite direction, watching for Aldgate.

So I detoured. It never felt like this much work before.

Outside of Aldgate, I was glad for the walk, even as I caught glimpses of silvery masks.

Inside the pub, I set down the messages, before finding an otherwise-discarded Phoenix paper.

Besides the usual news (and I spotted the small printed ad for the little shop), there were updates about otherwise mundane topics.

Even a small notice about a radio broadcast that was occurring, and the broadcasting frequency for the next show.

Now where to find a radio...

@kathrynalicemc hope Devon talks to you soon ☺️

On Blanchardyn and Eglantine 

— Or how Margaret Beaufort employed common courtly romance tropes to promote the union of Henry Tudor and Elizabeth of York 

Once I jokingly said that Margaret Beaufort was the first person to ship Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. From a historical point of view, my statement was obviously half-true. Lady Margaret Beaufort worked closely together with Elizabeth Woodville, Edward IV's dowager queen, in order to create an alliance between their families that would ultimately lead to the deposition of Richard III from the English throne. What I had in mind at the time of my innocuous text post was a really specific trivia about her life as a literary patronesse: the one time she commissioned the translation and printing of the French romance Blanchardyn and Eglantine. In this short meta we will look into Lady Margaret’s engagement with romance literature, a feat that closely resonates with modern shipping culture, and we will explain how courtly romance tropes could shape contemporary views in regard to the appeal of Henry Tudor and Elizabeth of York as King and Queen of England.

❧

During her lifetime, Lady Margaret Beaufort had a number of printed works dedicated to her name. She was mentioned in the colophon as the funder or commissioner of the printing of ten books, receiving actual dedicatory verses in three of them. Although one could always argue that naming the mother of the king and stating her seal of approval was a rather blatant marketing strategy, it is largely believed that Lady Margaret was genuinely interested in printing books for the overall benefit of English readers and hearers. Lady Margaret herself translated The Mirror of Gold for the Sinful Soul and the fourth book of The Imitation of Christ. All of her commissioned books were religious and attested to her piety with the exception of the earliest work dedicated to her name, which precisely happens to be Blanchardyn and Eglantine, a medieval courtly romance. This is the sole secular book dedicated to Lady Margaret, and it comes as a surprise when her devotional endeavours are put into perspective. 

William Caxton translated the first edition of this book around 1489 by Lady Margaret’s request. In his dedication, he claims that Margaret Beaufort had previously made a purchase from him of the French version of the romance. In the dedicatory verse, he states that the story was ‘honeste & loyefull to all vertuouse yong noble gentylmen & wymmen for to rede therin, as for their passé tyme’ — in a word, it was as appropriate as devotional literature itself. As Valerie Schutte points out in her dissertation, it was an appropriate pastime for gentlemen because it told the story of ancient knights who took up arms (something young nobles should aspire to), and it was suitable reading for gentlewomen for it exemplified how to be steadfast in their love and promises. It was essentially a courtly romance that provided gendered models shaped by traditional chivalric ideals. The story reads as:

OF THE MOST Excellent and Famous Historye of Blanchardine, Sonne of the King of Frize, and faire Eglantine, Queene of Tormaday, surnamed The Proud Lady in Loue

This is the story of Blanchardyn, a princely knight that arrives in a foreign kingdom for the occasion of a tournament. The scene in which the prince enters the city amidst the local festivities has been colourfully described by a variety of different French storytellers:

« [lui] semblait la plus belle ville où jamais il avait été. ll entra dedans et chevaucha bien avant, regardait les belles maisons, la grand multitude de peuple, les belles rues et les grandes églises. / [...] la mer lui était prochaine battants jusqu'aux murs, de l'autre coté étaient les grands prairies et labourages, bois et vignes, les eaux douces et les fontaines a grant foison » * (see notes)

That is Tournaday, the realm of Eglantine, a beautiful princess with whom Blanchardyn becomes enamoured. He is told that to win her heart he must surprise her by stealing a kiss. Only when he proceeds to do so Eglantine is so greatly shocked she falls from her horse, and embarrassed, swears war on Blanchardyn. In the course of the book the reader sees her resolve falter as she slowly falls in love with Blanchardyn and learns to appreciate his worth: ‘I have debated [th]e quarelle ayenst the god of love / but at the last I have been subdued & uttirly overcome.’

It has been speculated that Lady Margaret gifted Elizabeth of York with the French romance sometime during the events of 1483-1484. William Caxton had a printing shop located in Westminster, close enough to where Elizabeth of York and her mother and sisters took sanctuary at the time. It doesn’t take much to imagine the book passing into the hands of the princess by the assistance of the Welsh physician who smuggled messages between Lady Margaret and the dowager queen. Dr Lewis of Caerlon was a Cambridge-trained mathematician, theologian, astronomer, doctor of medicine and teacher at Oxford who was able to travel openly between Lord Stanley's London house and Elizabeth's sanctuary at Westminster. He would later serve as doctor to Henry VII and Elizabeth of York.

The story of Blanchardyn and Eglantine presented enough parallels with the situation of the heiress of the Yorkist line to impress Elizabeth of York: it could be said that Blanchardyn, much like Henry Tudor, was a prince that had left home to 'test himself in chivalry'. In his absence his realm is overthrown by pagan enemies, but Blanchardyn returns in due time to claim his title, marrying a neighbouring heiress in the process. Under this premise, one could say that Blanchardyn and Eglantine conveniently provided a romance patterning for the Tudor takeover of the English throne. 

It has been stated elsewhere, though, that the mid-fifteenth-century romance Ollyver of Castille provided a more accurate parallel to the marriage of Henry Tudor and Elizabeth of York. It also tells the story of an uncle Gloucester, usurper of the throne, who is later overcome in battle by another contestant, Arthur, whose claim derives from his wife as the true heiress of the rightful line. It resonated uncomfortably close to the discourse of those who disregarded Henry Tudor’s claim to the English throne. The hero’s kingship could not entirely rely on his wife’s heritage. When one takes into account all of the available romances at the time it is interesting to ponder at Lady Margaret’s choice. Possibly, what we see here is Margaret Beaufort controlling the narrative of her son's coming into power and choosing which work of fiction could best depict his ascension to the throne.

In Blanchardyn and Eglantine, it is interesting to see that the scene in which Eglantine declares her love begins by Eglantine discussing the wages she owes Blanchardyn for defending her castle. By the end of this scene, it looks as if Blanchardyn only requires her love as payment for his services. Despite his humble request, the narrative rewards him conveniently enough: Eglantine’s subjects unanimously accept Blanchardyn as their king. The crown becomes his ultimate prize. 

There are some common courtly romance tropes that closely resembled the situation in which Henry Tudor and Elizabeth of York found themselves at the time of Richard III's usurpation of the English throne, namely:

The Exiled Heir: In medieval literature, the true heir is typically lost from sight. He becomes an unknown figure, someone who often himself does not know about his identity as the true heir. He is brought up away from the court and experiences the hardships of a lonely life out in the world. Much like this trope, Henry Tudor sojourned the continent in order to escape any and every Yorkist attempts against his life but returned in due time (from over the sea, an important English motif) to recover his throne. Although not outwardly applicable, it is also noteworthy to mention the figure of the lone man excluded from society in medieval tradition: he is either in danger, or he has voluntarily isolated himself to complete some quest or to dedicate his life to God. This is the literature of the knight errant: the hero who willingly chooses to face evil by himself and who, when victorious, brings blessings to his whole community.

The Dispossessed Heiress: Typically, she needs to be rescued away from the man controlling her kingdom. This might be a tyrannical father, a stepfather or an evil uncle. It was a common theme for the heiress to be the last of her line, especially threatened by her male relatives. In the story of Havelok the Dane, Edelsie gets his niece Argentille out of the way by marrying her to a commoner and taking over her kingdom. The heiress's choice of marriage partner is often forbidden, her hand more often than not requested by highly undesirable suitors such as pagans. Contrary to the exiled heir, the heiress does not need to be found –– she needs to be rescued and to be married to the right man. Following the rise of the great French epics of the thirteenth century, the role of families and lineages is gradually highlighted in the literature. Genealogical concerns for the founding of families arose in the tradition of medieval romances: the heroine, as the founding mother of the future dynasty, must choose wisely among her suitors. The same problem was posed to Elizabeth of York, ultimately the mother of the Tudor dynasty.

The Chosen Nephew: In the romance La Chanson de Roland, the hero has but two identified relatives in the narrative: Charlemagne, his uncle the king/emperor, and Ganelon, his stepfather, the one who ultimately betrays Charlemagne's army. Looking at the great French epics, in the song of Renaud de Montauban (also known as Quatre fils Aymon), Girart, the eldest brother and leader of the family, holds a privileged position of affection and authority over his nephew Aymeri. Although Girart's brother Hernaut, the young man’s father, is alive in the story, Girart is established as the educator, the principal formative figure in his nephew's life. It is also noteworthy to mention the importance of uncle-nephew relationships in Arthurian legends: Gawain, King Arthur's nephew, is one of the greatest knights of the Round Table and features notably as the protagonist of the late-fourteenth-century chivalric romance Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Much like those legendary heroes, Henry Tudor grew into adulthood under the protection and guidance of his uncle Jasper Tudor in exile.

Lastly, we could not leave out the trope of the Evil Uncle: as exemplified in the aforementioned story of Havelok, the usurping tyrant typically tries to kill the child heir. Whether or not Richard III was guilty of the murders of the Princes in the Tower it did not matter. In the eyes of the public, he had the motives and the means to land this role. The perception that Richard was northern, quarrelsome and morally dubious following the disappearance of the sons of Edward IV would be further damaged in 1484, when it was rumoured that he had poisoned his wife and intended to marry his niece.

We could only speculate that Lady Margaret Beaufort saw the potential of romance literature as a framework for legitimising her son’s ascension to the throne. Employing chivalric ideals as rhetorical propaganda was hardly a new political device at that time: romance discourse was often used as an active social force that could elevate women to positions of power not otherwise available in a patriarchal society. In this light, Blanchardyn and Eglantine becomes more than a suitable justification for Henry Tudor’s acts of war —those could be regarded as a necessity born out of love for England and for Elizabeth of York alike. As it has been stated before, the story “contained a thinly-veiled account of governance and was essentially a political manual for its aristocratic women readers.” 

Communal reading was a frequent practice in the late fifteenth century. There are accounts of Cecily, Duchess of York, discussing the day’s reading with her ladies-in-waiting during her meals. Romance laid the contemporary basis for debate on how people should live, love, govern, fight and practise piety. They subtly reflected social mores about love, marriage, and politics. Women of that time would be aware that in the tradition of chivalric romances when the hero marries his lady, he also wins a kingdom. Noblewomen were constantly reminded by the genre that although beauty and grace were important charms, much of their importance derived from their status as heiresses or their ability to provide marriage alliances. The rules of the chivalric world were dictated by men, but women often wielded power to modify and rearrange the orders of that world by exerting the type of political influence that foreshadowed the role of diplomats and ambassadors. 

Eglantine is not a passive romance heroine. She oversees battle scenes and is in charge of her own keep. She also handles marriage negotiations and provides an example of how noble women could work together with their male peers to achieve political goals. If there is any truth to The Song of Lady Bessy, a largely romanticised account of the role of Elizabeth of York in the victory of Bosworth Field, the Yorkist heiress took to heart some of those lessons by wooing support for her betrothed in exile. We can only speculate about this point (and what a speculation this is!) since there is no solid evidence of her role in Henry Tudor’s invasion. Nonetheless, it is undeniable the presence of such lessons in the text of Blanchardyn and Eglantine.

A lady calling upon the help of lords and knights was a common theme in romance literature, deeply rooted in the tradition of chivalric codes. In the first line of The Song of Lady Bessy we see Elizabeth of York’s plea to Thomas Stanley, Henry Tudor's stepfather, later 1st Earl of Derby:

I shall tell how Lady Bessy made her moan, And down she kneeled upon her knee Before the Earle of Darby her self alone, These were words fair and free:

Who was your beginner, who was your ground, Good father Stanley, will you tell me? Who married you to the Margaret Richmond, A Dutchess of a high degree; And your son the Lord George Strange, By that good Lady you had him by.

Good father Stanley, remember thee? It was my father that King royall, He set you in that room so high.  Remember Richmond banished full bare And lyeth in Brittain behind the sea;  You may recover him of his care,  If your heart and mind to him will gree,  Let him come home and claim his right,  And let us cry him King Henry. 

Ultimately, the idea of Henry Tudor and Elizabeth of York coming together as England's royal couple toyed with important courtly romance tropes of their time, and it is not difficult to see how it might have played an important role in the success of the establishment of the Tudor dynasty. We can certainly say that Lady Margaret Beaufort chose her story wisely.

Printnasium.co.uk offers a diverse array of specialty printing techniques that elevate the customization experience, ensuring that every T-shirt tells a distinctive story. Let's delve into the world of specialty printing techniques that make Printnasium a go-to destination for those seeking premium custom T-shirt printing in the UK.

Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing: Printnasium utilizes state-of-the-art Direct-to-Garment printing technology, allowing for high-resolution and full-color designs. This technique is perfect for intricate artwork and vibrant designs, providing customers with the flexibility to bring their creative visions to life on quality fabric.

Screen Printing: For those who appreciate a classic touch, Printnasium offers screen printing – a versatile method that excels in producing sharp and durable prints. This technique is particularly effective for bulk orders and ensures consistent quality across all T-shirts. Custom T-Shirt Printing UK has never been so seamless and reliable.

Vinyl Printing: When it comes to adding a touch of sophistication to custom T-shirts, vinyl printing is the answer. This technique involves cutting designs from vinyl sheets and heat pressing them onto the fabric, creating a sleek and precise look. It's an ideal choice for custom logo printing, providing a polished finish that stands out.

Embroidery: For a tactile and premium feel, Printnasium offers embroidery services that add texture and dimension to custom T-shirts. Whether it's a logo, text, or intricate design, embroidery provides a timeless and upscale aesthetic, making it a favored choice for those who value craftsmanship.

Sublimation Printing: Sublimation printing is a cutting-edge technique that allows for all-over printing, covering the entire T-shirt with vibrant and permanent colors. This method ensures that the design becomes an integral part of the fabric, resulting in a soft and comfortable feel. It's a fantastic option for those looking to make a bold statement with their custom T-shirts.

Day Eight

On the morning of tour day eight, it was time to say goodbye to a few adults who joined us just for the Savannah and/or Charleston portions of the tour as well as bid a fond farewell to Meg Andrews, our Music Contact International tour planner & guide for those cities. (Thanks for your help, Meg! We had a great time!) After a busy weekend in Charleston, we were all looking forward to relaxing on one of our longest drives of the tour - eight hours of travel time to Colonial Williamsburg. We passed the time with a couple of movies, a few snacks, a lunch stop, and A LOT of napping. Once we arrived at the Williamsburg Woodlands hotel, we checked in, got lost trying to find our rooms (we finally found them), and then walked to the adjacent Visitors Center to catch the shuttle into the Colonial Williamsburg historical area.

We managed to cram/stuff/squeeze the entire group onto one shuttle where we were dropped off not far from our meal location. After a short walk down the historic streets, filled with both original and reproductions of colonial buildings and homes, we came to the King's Arms Tavern where our group was divided into two rooms and enjoyed a delicious meal of chicken, turkey, or prime rib with a scoop of ice cream for dessert. To thank the waitstaff for the meal, the older choir members serenaded the workers on the upper floor and then joined the rest of the choir on the main floor to sing for the guests & workers there.

Upon finishing our meal (and taking the obligatory group picture in front of the restaurant), we made our way down Duke of Gloucester Street (the main thoroughfare of the historic area) as we watched the ominous storm clouds gather. After a song for the guests awaiting the start of the walking tours, we met up with our authentically costumed guides and set off in three groups to tour the artisan shops and learn more about some of the different trades and businesses in Colonial Williamsburg. We made it about halfway through the hour long tour when the storms could hold off no longer and the deluge began. Luckily, having endured the monsoons of the NYC tour in 2017, we came prepared and were able to throw on our ponchos and open our umbrellas and forge ahead with the rest of the tour. (Unless, of course, you were a middle school boy and decided to stand in the pouring rain getting drenched without benefit of either umbrella or poncho.) Blessedly, the rain only lasted about 10 minutes (and lowered the temperature by about 10 degrees) and we were able to finish our tours of the printing shop, book binder, silversmith, and millinery with clear skies - but very wet feet. At the conclusion of the tours, our groups boarded shuttles to travel back to the hotel where we were able to enjoy the rest of the evening playing table tennis, chatting with friends, and drying out our clothes and shoes in the hotel laundry.

Despite the rain, we had a short but enjoyable visit to Colonial Williamsburg. We'll continue our 18th century theme on day nine at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello!
