This video was taken on October 2 during our fall vacation in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. Somehow the name “Shenandoah” just has such a beautiful ring to it, no wonder, since it means “beautiful daughter of the stars”. We were staying in a condo in Massanutten, a ski area and did a number of day trips. Our first trip took us to Harrisonburg, a historic Virginia town, 15 minutes west of Massanutten. I started by interviewing the travel expert at the Harrisonburg Tourism Office and then set off on a little walking tour of the town. The town features various historic homes, and one of the most impressive buildings is the court house whose roof is crowned by a statue of the goddess of justice. After a nice lunch at an outdoor cafe we continued our exploration and drove southwards on a country road. Rolling farm country and lots of happy grazing cows surrounded us on this serene drive. About an hour later we arrived in Staunton, a picturesque city of about 28000 people in the southern Shenandoah Valley. Staunton has a beautiful main street (West Beverley Street) with many beautifully preserved historic buildings in different architectural styles. The most stunning one is the Masonic Building, reminiscent of a European medieval structure. Although Staunton goes back to 1747, the town experienced its heyday between 1880 and 1920, so the majority of the architecture is Victorian. Staunton has five historic districts, one of them a right next to the rail line which features …

This video was taken during our fall vacation in Virginia on October 4, 2007. We decided to visit the capital of Virigina, a city with a metro area population of about 1.2 million people. Our drive from Massanutten was about 2 hours, and our first stop in the city was the Convention and Visitors Centre. We got decked out with all sorts of maps and brochures and I quickly video-interviewed one of the representatives of the tourism department to get an idea of the city. I figured the best place to start the exploration would be right downtown near City Hall. Most of Richmond’s downtown is made up of modern skyscrapers that are interspersed with a few historical buildings. The main sight in the area is of course the Capitol Building which we visited through its newly constructed underground entrance and exhibit area. I also checked out the Main Street Station, a historical railway station that has recently undergone a stunning renovation. We walked through Shockoe Slip, a neighbourhood of former tobacco warehouses from the Victorian era that have now been turned into lofts, retail stores and restaurants. We also walked down to the canal area, close to the James River, an area that has recently been undergoing a rejuvenation. We also briefly drove across the James River to catch a great view of the downtown Richmond skyline and then headed west into a picturesque residential neighbourhood called “The Fan”, so-called because the streets are laid out in a fan-shaped pattern …
