Colonial Williamsburg

I went over to visit yesterday, on my day off. Nothing important to say, just a chance to post a picture, and point you to a few others.

British Occupy Williamsburg!

Or so must have said the headlines in 1781 when Lord Cornwallis arrived. This weekend in Williamsburg, the re-enactors were there in their red coats. Regular "townie" re-enactors had to have passes to get by the military checkpoints, and I saw a couple arrested and led away for not having the proper papers.

The video includes an artillery demonstration. They didn't quite get off a shot every 15 seconds, but I think they made it in 20.
