I went across the river yesterday afternoon, along the skywalk to Belle Isle. The sun was going down and it was quite warm. I will go back again soon.

Best River Town
Richmond, Virginia- where we now live- was built on the James River at the fall line where the Piedmont Plateau drops to the Coastal Plain. It is navigable up to the downtown area and beyond is strewn with boulders and rushing waters and in some places Class V rapids. In October Richmond was awarded "The Best River Town in America" by Outside Magazine. The article is worth a read.

Curt-
ReplyDeleteGlad things are going well. Have you read the Andersonville Diary of John Ransom? Available free through Google. He was originally imprisoned on Belle Isle before being moved to Richmond then Andersonville. It is a great read and surprisingly upbeat, considering.
Have a nice holiday. We are up at our Tennessee place right now.
