Glass Blowing in Jamestown/New Camera

November 4, 2007
We woke to sunrise over the James River. Will had been up for hours playing Fate when Kathy joined him for coffee. The air is cold today, and brown crumbly leaves cover the areas under the trees and gathers in the quiet places.

The Glasshouse stands on the grounds where early conlonists of Jamestown would have blown glass. Today the National Park Service has demonstrations of green glassware being blown. On our way to the parking lot we recognized another Roadtrek parked right beside us, a newer version from California.

Before crossing the Jamestown Ferry security pulled us over. They used a mirror on a long handle and like the dentist checked our teeth…no checked under the Roadtrek. Then they had us open some compartments and checked them out. We cleared and the ferry arrived.

We stopped in Machanicsville’s Walmart and bought a new camera, a Cannon with view finder and sound. We sat trying it out and our other new toy, Sirrus. Will discovered that the antenna needed to be away from other anteni so this might not work for us. Besides our speakers in the Roadtrek are not really good; the driver’s side often shuts off. That purchase will take some thinking about. (Cliff, what kind do you have?)But the camera works really well.
