Most colonials wore similar shades.
I didn’t buy the hat. The one I’m wearing was $36. The plainer ones are $25 and the fancy ones are $65. I also didn’t pay to rent a costume for the day. Yes, I’m very lame. (Yes, this is from Williamsburg.)

: Thanks -- that's seriously high praise. Thanks for the book tip also -- now I just gotta figure out how to get back to the islands again.
: Excellent video! Great photos and the song is perfect for it! I like the ending too, but don't use that Hawaii book for serious planning. Buy Kathy Morey's books on hikes and strolls in various Hawaiian Islands.
: Thanks for posting a great picture of Lower Spokane Falls. I was there in March or April 1983. It was nice to do a virtual visit again after all these years. No purple gondolas back then... [...]
: Thanks for stopping by! This map is pretty close to how it actually worked out: http://48stateroadtrip.co m/2009/05/48-cross-countr y-road-trip-itinerary-the -whole-thing/.
That is actually more dignified than I was expecting.
More evidence that I was born 2 1/2 centuries too late.
(Maybe 2 1/4)
Costumes were available to rent????
Sure — although I’m guessing you’d be mistaken for part of the scenery. Hopefully they prep you on how to answer tourists’ questions. (I only saw kid-tourists dressed up, but no one seemed to be asking them to explain themselves.)
