Governor's Palace
This is the rear view of the palace from the maze and gardens up on a big hill. I don't know why but I always seemed surprised that Williamsburg is set up as pre-revolution and is under "British rule." Although Thomas Jefferson did make his home here briefly, as well as Madison I believe.
Ok...so the maze was really easy, but mom gave me a good puzzled look for the camera. : )
This harpsichord is very cool. It is one of three lasting originals (1700's) by a man whose name I have in the box I shipped back to myself full of my Williamsburg treasures. My mom and I went to a concert in this very room in the Governor's Palace lit only by candlelight. It was beautiful, and they actually played this harpsichord. There was also a violin, flute (wooden...flutes weren't made with metal until the 19th century), viola, and a recorder.
