Ghost Tour on Friday the 13th

   The ghost tour was not quite what I had expected.  There are different types of ghost tours here- this one was a more historical one, but I've been exposed to so many wonderful, talented actors and the ones telling these stories were not that caliber.  But we had fun!  All over town at dusk and dark there are clumps of ghost tours happening.
   Again...another jam-packed day!  And tomorrow we have to check out by 7:15.  This morning after breakfast we walked to the Secretary's house and were treated to an interpreter portraying a staunch loyalist.  She was excellent and I'm guessing near 80 years old.  As we walked to the building, we noticed many state troopers and other security forces around the Capitol (the CW Capitol) because the governors were going to be in that area.  Next thing you know, we were cordoned in with yellow security tape and told we couldn't leave the building.  People were thinking that Obama, who is scheduled to be in Virginia, was joining the governors.  Even the poor interpreter couldn't leave!  I said that it was a new reality show:  "Held Hostage in Colonial Williamsburg."  Below on the left you'll see the group being "held hostage."                                                                                                                                          
   Fortunately, our next activity (an interactive lesson about voting) was  in the same room so we were                                           
not praying, but texting
granted permission to walk as a group to the washrooms outside and down the hill if we needed to use them.  They were definitely taking extreme caution.  After our lesson we were set free from the building and were encouraged to go off on our own until we met for lunch on that patio again.  
  And I hate to do this because I've been so good about writing, but I need to go to sleep.  I don't know if I'll have time to write tomorrow morning or not.  All I know is that I am completely exhausted!!
   We go to Yorktown after breakfast and before we all leave on our various modes of transportation.
