Nice ride today....looked like it would rain just about any second for a lot of it, but when it would lighten up. I did not plan to go far, and I did not though the bike was fine. I rode out to Hollywood Cemetery. Had a visitor from Atlanta, and only got to show him a few things last night (he worked all day in Richmond) so got a few things shot and sent to him. I have been there many times and have a lot of photos from there, here are a couple more.
This is from Hollywood....photo of the James River from there. It is a pretty place to end up with some nice views of the area. Peaceful and very historic. As I told Ben, two and a half US Presidents are buried there...2 US and the only CSA President.
Spent a little time there and wandered around a bit both on wheels and on foot. I do love history and today was a good time to do that. Had a busy and aggrevating morning so this was nice.
Made a stop at the State Capital. Wandered there for a bit. While there I got this photo. Hate to blow my own horn, but this is a damn good photo. Course its a pretty impressive building which was mostly designed by Thomas Jefferson.
While riding I visited a friend and we walked down to an Italian Festival in Shockoe Bottom (just outside of Church Hill). After a visit there, headed back to my house to go to a concert. More on that on my Richmond and Me page tomorrow. I had a great time though, and a pretty fine day.
