Just a short way from Charlottesville is the homeplace of Thomas Jefferson. Nick and I spent the most beautiful afternoon there. The tour guide joked that they were charging double that day because of the perfect weather. Here stand two great men.
These are the gardens. Those tall things are pole beans! I just couldn't believe these beautiful gardens. Jefferson carved out this wonderful, level place from the hillside. Well, actually, his 200 slaves did the carving.
Monticello was really beautiful. It was full of Jefferson's innovations and interests. I came away hoping to be more productive in my own life.
