December 31, 2012 ---- Jamestown was the first permanent British settlement, founded when 104 colonists sailed across the Atlantic to North America in 1607. It's also the capital of Virginia.
Nathan and I got to Jamestown in the afternoon and went straight to the Visitor Center and looked around at the fabulous exhibit they provided. Then we walked to the Old Towne part of the town and the museum, but we didn't have enough time to go through the New Towne because we had to drive to Washington, DC, that day. There were a lot of interesting collections in the museum, but they didn't allow anyone to take a photo inside of the museum.
Later we drove to the Jamestown Glasshouse, and it was my favorite. They were making a lot of glassware using old techniques here, and I bought a blue bowl for my friend as a New Year gift.
