After a tour of the Governor's Palace, we visited the outbuildings containing carriages and the stables.  We met a young lady in colonial garb from Fremont, CA, where the White's are from!

We walked through the palace gardens and  watched a reenactment of conversations between "Lord Dunsmore," two of his associates, and one of his household slaves on the raised platform outside the garden gate.

Then we returned to the shuttle stop and took the shuttle to the Capitol stop.  We visited the Presbyterian Meetinghouse and walked to the Capitol where we had our picture taken by the wife of a couple who were on a tour that was part of a Princess Cruise Line cruise (we had been on a Princess Cruise Line ship around the United Kingdom and Ireland in August)!

Then we went on a tour of the Capitol.

Eileen and I visited the Secretary's Office where two people were involved in tent making. 

As we walked along Duke of Gloucester St. we visited the Apothecary, the Raleigh Tavern Bakery, the Silversmith, the James Craig Jeweller, the Milliner & Tailor, the Tarpley, Thompson, & Company store, the William Pitt store, M. Dubois grocer, and the Post Office.  Allen and I walked down the outside stairs to the Bindery and Printing Office below the Post Office.
