The Tour

After we toured the restored buildings at Appomattox, Harry walked us down to the surrender triangle, where the men filed in and gave up their arms. This was the end of the war, and also the end of our week long tour. We boarded the bus, settled in, and headed back to Charlotte. On the way back, we watched the movie, 'Gettysburg'. After having been there just days before, the visuals of the movie had more of an impact.

We arrived back at RTS around 10:30pm, everyone very exhausted. It was good to get to know the other folks on the tour, and to hear Harry teach again. His knowledge of the war is very indepth. It was a great time spent with my father, as we haven't had that much time together in a very long time. I hope to do this again soon.

This concludes my diary of our trip to Gettysburg and the Shenandoah Valley. All of the posts from here on down are of this trip, and to read it chronologically, you must read starting from the bottom of this page.
