Hello from Richmond, Virginia!

Hi everyone!

I am coming to you live from a seminar for teachers of American History - the topic is "The South in American History" and we are studying at the University of Richmond for the week with a group of teachers who come from all over the United States and Bermuda. We have representatives from Washington (state), Washington DC, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Virginia, Louisiana, Milwaukee, Georgia ... and I may be forgetting some!

I'll have some great pictures to show you when we get back to school - for now, our schedule is pretty full of lectures, creating podcasts, and visiting some local sites: Jamestown settlement, the Richmond Slave Trail, Drewery's Bluff, Moton Museum, and Monument Avenue.

Hope you are all having a great summer!
