Charlottesville and Monticello


The hotel where we stayed in Charlottesville last night was at the end of a pedestrian street full of interesting shops and restaurants.


We were able to have dinner outside at a South American inspired restaurant with matching weather and accompanied by some very chatty cicadas in the trees above us.


Indoors in a rather cooler environment students from the University of Virginia were practising their ice hockey.


After dinner we did a little window shopping including this shop featuring everything for the cat lover..


This morning we headed to Monticello.


It was very sunny and warm - almost too hot to walk around the garden and vegetable gardens in the full sun.




It was surprisingly cool in the conservatory where the shutters had been closed.


This is a poor attempt at a very nice photo taken by Maggie when we visited in June - I still haven't got the reflection right.  Maybe next time..,

  1. I don't remember that shed?? Your hotel may have been in Charlotsville but did it have a jacuzzi ?
