Day 2-The Governor's Palace

We toured two buildings today, one of them was The Governor's Palace.  Here are pictures from the tour:

A shot of the front as we headed over for the tour.

This is what a "call to arms" looks like (I guess).  When you first walk into the palace, there are guns and swords of al kinds decorating the entry way and down a hall way leading to stairs up to the rest of the palace.  It was meant to be intimidating, and it kind of was!

One of the many beautiful fireplaces.

A close up of the fireplace.

I liked the writing desk.  This is in the room (think Carson, from Downton Abbey) where all the valuables were stored and inventoried

 Some of the valuables-crystal, glassware, silver etc.

Sink?

This is the crest over the door in the ballroom.

We liked the frills around the doors and windows.

The gardens behind the palace were pretty!

 I like trees!

The back of the palace.

I have no idea who these crazy people are...

The hedges are boxwood.

 They were actually cooking food in here!

Good bye Governor's Palace!

I think I have pictures for one more post so keep reading!
