Friday: Up early to meet at professor's house by 8:30. Rode with two fun guys to Jamestown. Ate lunch at the fake Jamestown, then had group tour with an archaeologist at the real Jamestown. Got sunburned. Checked into hotel, then went to The King's Arm for large group dinner. Didn't eat much peanut soup. Somehow ended up in the tiny group with late tickets for the Legends Tour, so went with three other students to a tavern for drinks. Played fun dice games. Went on Legends Tour, but we all had to pee the whole time. After tour met back with the larger group at the same tavern for more drinks and more dice games. Got slightly rowdy, but definitely had a good time. After the tavern closed at 10:30 we walked back to the hotel and the cool kids ("kids" is relative- I was definitely one of the youngest ones there) hung out until after 2, with more drinks and pizza.
My awesome car mates in their awesome hats.
Saturday: Woke up early for hotel breakfast. Stood with the group in the sun on the loud crunchy walkway by the buses and listened (or tried to listen) to a lecture for way too long. Off to explore Colonial Williamsburg. Toured the Capitol and Governor's Palace, plus lots of artisan shops. Finally got to sit down and eat lunch, then back on the streets for more exploring and note taking. Starting asking around about the Native Americans, or the lack of Native Americans. Learned female blacksmiths didn't wear shirts to work. Was super tired and hot and dehydrated, but stayed strong until 5. Went back to hotel for short nap, with tired feet and exhausted body. Up again to walk back to our same favorite tavern for dinner and more dice games. Off to learn about 18th-century dance at the Capitol. Back to the same tavern for more dice games with our favorite waiter. After tavern closed walked back to hotel to hang out in same hotel room again, but not as late this time.
(I would show the picture of me with the apron on, but I'm hunched over so it will stay up. Since that doesn't look very flattering you get to look at my back instead.)
Sunday: Up early again for hotel breakfast. Back to Colonial Williamsburg to finish exploring. Sat in the chapel at the Wren building at William and Mary for thirty minutes chatting with my new friend. Met back with professor and group one last time for roll call, then headed back to the car and on the road. Stopped at hugest Arby's ever for lunch. Had great fun talking with my car mates, and decided to start a band. We're gonna be rock stars. Rock stars who just had a great weekend in Williamsburg.
