Day_83_-_Cape Charles Museum, Mom & Mary

Mary was keeping the Museum open for it's last weekend before winter. She agreed to pose for a picture, but didn't seem too thrilled to do it. She was very helpful however and even ran the generator for us (simulated).

After selling us tickets to get into the museum, she took us through the first part and told us a bit more about the museum. She was very nice, I think her name is Pat, but I forgot to write it down (ugh).

Day 60 - Old Mystic Seaport, Tavern Keeper

The Schaefer's Spouter Tavern is run by Dana. She not only sells sandwiches, beverages, pickles and pies to tourists, but does all her own baking and books for the Tavern! I tried a slice of her Fruit of the Forest Pie - it was excellant. She really loves her job and likes meeting all of us strange people who visit her establishment.

Day 19 - Cliffs Shaft Mine, Mom & Tour Guide at Building

The craftsmen who built the mine buildings were embarrassed at the odd shaped rocks the mine gave them to build with, so covered their work with plaster.

Day 19 - Cliffs Shaft Mine, Al with Anvil

This anvil used at the mine was so big, I asked one of the volunteer tour guides to stand by it to help illustrate it's size. He refused to lift it for some reason however.
