Day 18: Warrenton, NC

May 15, 2017

We had a relaxing day in Warrenton. After a delicious three course breakfast, I did laundry and Kerry cleaned and made some adjustments on the bike. I could learn to like breakfast if I could have it served to me every day at 9AM and didn't have to do any of the cooking or cleaning up. I am definitely NOT one of those people who say they miss their own kitchen when they travel.

In the afternoon, we took a walk around town. Warrenton has a downtown area with some stores and a few restaurants. Many of the businesses were closed on Monday.

There are a number of big, beautiful homes from the mid 1800's which have been restored and then some which look like they will have to be demolished.

This is right next door to the one above

Doesn't this look like it would be a great haunted house?

Another view - I'd love to go in and poke around a really old abandoned house like this.

Our B&B is a nice home which the owner said is 112 years old.

We had a late lunch at Milano's, which was very good. Thanks to our chef and server.

There are quite a few historical markers in town. These two had names we recognized.

And then there was this sign at the entrance to the local community college. No bicycles on a college campus???

No bikes allowed on the local community college campus :(

Tomorrow’s destination is Burkeville, VA. Our planned route is both more rural and hilly than previous days – in 65 miles we will pass through only one small town and we will have about 2,500 feet of climbing. Jeanna is SO looking forward to the climbs 😊
