Monticello
Today (12th August) Curt and I were up before the lark taunting the poor bird for its idleness. We were Monticello bound and pausing only to consume delicious scrambled egg and crispy bacon (one thing that Americans do far better than we in the United Kingdon is cooking bacon) prepared for us by the fair Liz, we were on our way.
A four hour drive but well worth it (especially as I didn’t have to do any of the driving). Monticello was the plantation home of Thomas Jefferson way back in the 18th century. A beautiful place lovingly designed by the great man himself. I had an incredible time and I’m extremely grateful to Curt Phillips for taking me there.
