The Fuzz's Excellent Motorcycle Adventure 4

Charlottesville Virginia.
This was to original destination of The Fuzz.  The plan was to have a visit with His Little Sister.
Sister and Husband are quite happy here in this town these days.  It is of course the Home of a Famous University.The place is crawling with college kids.  They love that too.
The Fuzz took a few moments in the morning to check and fill the fluid in his clutch again.  But it was fine - at least as far as being full.  Always expecting the worse, he was beginning to believe the master cylinder was gone.  But hey, it did get him here, didn't it?  So it should get him home, or maybe somewhere else
The Fuzz's Sister took the opportunity to take him up to Monticello, the home of the Illustrious Thomas Jefferson.

It is a pretty popular place, as can be seen by the line to get in.  Actually this is a queue, as there were several British Folks waiting with us.
They don't let you take pictures inside for some reason, so you won't see any here.  But you can use your camera outside.

Here's the stump of a Poplar Tree that the Great Man was responsible for planting.
You can also take pix of the downstairs tunnel, where all the slaves worked.
The kitchen.
The man was fond of French Wine.

But they said he never could get his own winemaking to work out. Life's like that sometimes.
