Well of course the day started with my, now famous, big breakfast. After eating and cleaning up, we headed to church. Immanuel Lutheran Church was on the south edge of Charlottesville. Folks were very welcoming and it was refreshing to worship God among his people! It was raining after church, so we took a drive through the city to see the big old houses plus the University of Virginia campus.
For lunch, we packed a sandwiches and ate it in the parking lot at Montecello. The former home of President Thomas Jefferson was quite a complex. We took the tour of the house and grounds which was very impressive. Thomas had quite a view of the surrounding countryside from his home on the mountain top.
It was a quick but enjoyable day. Tomorrow we are back on the trail with only four days to go.

Our tour guide. He was an odd fellow. He was constantly looking at his watch.

We stopped at a mountain top apple barn which also had their own vineyards
