The weekend felt very quiet, despite being eventful in terms of attending parts of a football game (vs Georgia Tech) and a trip to Monticello, a museum of sorts dedicated to Tommy J. Best described in pictures, methinks.
This is the Rotunda, the historic site from which Jefferson planned the university around. It is a World Heritage Site and has clear influences from the Pantheon in Rome.
Booyakasha! Ali J and his posse.
America's presidents used to be Renaissance men. Jefferson, besides writing the Declaration of Independence, designed this house and spoke at least 6 languages. That's about 5.5 languages more than the current one in the White House.
This would have no significance except I've been craving fried chicken very much and have finally found something to satiate those KFC-craving tastebuds. This was served at Michie Tavern, an eatery in existence since Jefferson's time.

I've tried joining the list but apparently Charlottesville's zipcode isn't recognised...we've been seconded to Puerto Rico, it seems.
See, this is what lack of sleep does to your sense of humour.
