Norfolk

[blackjohn]

I'm going to be giving a short lecture on underwater cultural heritage in Norfolk next week, and I was wondering if anyone knows of any good restaurants in the area?

norfolk virginia? freemason abby near waterside, no frills grill in ghent, otherwise corner bars and chain restaurants.

[Mr.Tignor]

well if you take the ferry into olde towne portsmouth(departing from waterside) you could go to my favorite affordable sea food restaurant the Lobsouser(on high street) pplluusss i crew the ferry during the weekdays so id love to say hello and attack you for infor...i mean friendly conversation. lol But otherwise i agree with dutch on the freemason abbey, if its in season, i would murder someone for their she-crab soup...i dont care how hot it is outside..

Hey, I wish I could take you up on the offer. But my plan at present is to do my gig, then high tail it for home. With a possible stop at the gift shop/bookstore in Williamsburg.

Yesterday I realized I hadn't been to Williamsburg since son #1 was born. So when I stopped there on my way home, walking around town reminded me how much I really love the 18thC.

I will be down that way for a photoshoot at Bill and Virginia's house.

Can't say that I know them, but anyone who lives down in the Tidewater should consider themselves lucky.

I sometimes daydream about retiring down there. Either that, or more likely Saint Mary's.

And hey, if anyone is interested, I've made the powerpoint available at:

Though I suspect without my narration it won't make a great deal of sense.
