This was my request. I asked to visit a small town, much like Sutter Creek near me. So off we drove to Staunton (pronounced Stanton) and Lexington. These two towns were quaint and different. The difference was in the age and ornamental qualities of the buildings.
Let’s visit Staunton first. We stopped at a street that was blocked off to traffic.
Top row: An employee setting up an outdoor smoking area for a smoke shop. A wooden Indian sculpture inside the shop. Instruments made from cigar boxes.
Second row: People enjoying outdoor dining.
Third row: A cute store and a theatre.
Still in Staunton, some interesting buildings.
In Lexington, we took a horse drawn carriage ride. It was great, but made photography difficult. Our guide apologized for not being able to stop because it would get her off schedule.
I mostly rested in Alexandria, Virginia. So our next stop will be Boston! Stay tuned.

Both towns look very picturesque but I can imagine that taking photos from a moving carriage can’t be easy!

Thanks Sarah! It wasn’t. Most of the sites we passed once belonged to historical figures, but had changed hands so many times and weren’t preserved. In other words not worth taking the shot. I found that sad.

Yes, that is a shame.
