Rain, rain, and more rain. We always try not to let the rain stop us from doing things, but it came close today. We went to Danville, VA today. I hoped to walk along their riverfront trail, and also explore the historic part of town. We managed to do a few things, but the rain was relentless.
Started out at the Visitor's Center to get some maps and information. Tobacco was king in this town back in the days.
Our first stop was the spot of a train wreck that inspired the song, "Wreck of the Old 97". You can no longer see down into the gorge because there is too much plant growth.
Next, we decided to walk down Millionaires Row whether it was raining or not. We lucked out and the rain let up for a little while. Newfound wealth from the tobacco industries and the Dan River textile giant built these Victorian and Edwardian-era homes.
It started raining again so we just drove around the town. Many very large buildings that I believe are old warehouses were everywhere.
Had enough rain, went to 2 Witches Brewery and had a flight and free popcorn. This brewery was named for two little girls in witches costumes one Halloween. One which is now the owner's wife and the other is her sister.
