We could not leave this tour of Civil War history without going to Appomattox Court House, the site of the surrender. The war that had lasted for 4 years and cost 680,000 men their lives was over. The surrender was dignified, humble and full of compassion. I''m glad we went because for me it was like closing the pages of a book ---- a conclusion. The picture of Ron is in front of the house where the surrender was signed.
The rest of the day was driving, driving, driving. We do not have time for side trips since we need to get home by Sat. night. The next two days we will head to Texas and not take time for adventures. So----alas, this will be my last post.
See ya next year.
