Touring Virginia

From the Natural Bridge I drove to Charlottesville stayed the night and then to several other small towns searching for Civil War History, before making it to Richmond. for once I'm pleased the blog didn't get my photos in order. At the Richmond Art Museum, which has amazing collections, I saw this tiger skin rug, as part of an anti smoking exhibit, made of 600,000 cigarettes, it was more than amazing









Charlottesville had some interesting street art, great old buildings and also an occupy C'ville in the park, The coffee wasn't so bad either, though I had to get a special order of an 8 oz cup






















Don't know the rating of this motel, but for Caddie fans its probably a must












And just to show you how absolutely amazing the tiger rug was, as you walked around it changed colour,


The rest of the anti smoking exhibit was just as stunning, the artists father had died from lung cancer, and Richmond in an area which grows lots of tobacco was pretty game to host this exhibit, which was due to close a couple of days after I was there. Can't believe I was just lucky to see it.
