So I head a couple of miles to Appomattox town. Once there I found parking right outside the Tourist Office. So that was my first port of call. I noticed a Coffee/Bookshop across the road and it was recommended by the Tourist Office.
I got useful information which blunted my appetite, and I decided to go for a walk round the town before eating. It was now about 2pm.
It was a most enjoyable walk. There is a huge variety of house types, which you can see in the photos. Some of them all ready for Halloween. I was following a trail leaflet I picked up from the tourist office.
I did eventually find a museum, but it was closed. Understandable as it was almost November and tourists would be small in number.
I completed a circle tour round the town and ended up back at my car. So then it was into the coffee shop.
I had a nice latte, and piece of wonderful home made apple pie.
I perused the books and found a whole shelf of books on Catholic topics. I bought 2. One on great modern Catholic writers, and on on Medieval History.
