Sightseeing in Staunton Part 3

This first one is the front view of our house.



















Kathy's is a restaurant at the bottom of our hill. It's got the most fabulous pancakes.




This wicked view is from the highest peak in town seen from Betsy Bell Park. This hilltop is not inhabited, making us the highest-altitude residents in town. Oh yeah, we win.









Some more views of downtown...










































This is one of the swanky bed-and-breakfasts in town, Miller House.





This is a view of Mary Baldwin College, a private women's institution. There is also the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind, so we have a higher population of deaf and blind residents.




















At left is the Blackfriars Playhouse, the only existing replica of Shake-speare's Blackfriars Theatre.







































Just some cool houses in town.
































At left is a view of Lewis Street; at the end is the local Amtrak station. Unfortunately, there are no lines directly to Detroit, and to get to Muskegon would take 20 hours. Maybe we can still use it for a weekend in D.C. or something.
