Once our day began it began with a discussion with General George Washington. General Washington addressed an auditorium of people and allowed whom ever wished to ask him a question which he would respond too. Here is a man that is cynical, yet full of great wisdom and insight. A man of conviction, to his values and beliefs, a man of firm resolution. It was revealing to hear his reasoning and perception and come to a better understanding of whom he is.
Next, we spent a few hours in the Merchant Area enjoying the shops and dining. A tour of the capitol and jail concluded the day and another couple of hours sitting and watch people stroll up and down the street conclude our afternoon. 
We luckily came across a place for Cheryl and I...well probably more me than Cheryl. We discovered the first hospital for the insane and mentally ill at Williamsburg. Touring through I thought how fun some of those early medical treatments could have been. Hm...I warned you and told you I probably belong in such a facility. 
Finally, we arrived at the capitol and became the chief justices to the Royal Magistrate in the trial of an accused witch in the area. Another great insight learned of how the trials of the day were conducted and what was or not allowed in the court. This trial was only concerned with the facts that were brought against this woman and whether she met the conditions of being a witch. 38 not guilty votes and 44 guilty votes sent the woman to the jail until sentencing. Hm, Cheryl and I had varying votes. Guess, who was more sympathetic. Late start, late finish, wonder what tomorrow will bring.
