This is the overlook bridge on Belle Isle. It is full of these quotes from different people involved in the fall of Richmond during the Civil War. It's actually quite moving when you read each quote and put yourself in the place of these individuals on that day in 1865. It must have been terrifying to be here, in Richmond, and watching the whole city burn. There is certainly a rich history here in Richmond and in Virginia as a whole.
Look at that river! It never looks like this.
Cy was all bundled up with his Woobie in the Croozer...it was super chilly today!
We had some torrential rain one afternoon/evening so we decided to take a bike ride down around the James River and Belle/Brown's island to see what level the river was flowing. It was BUMPING! Hollywood rapid, the only real rapid of any consequence, was completely washed out and replaced with a monster munchy hole. It was incredible!
