Hi! I just moved to Virginia. Do you have any suggestions for sightseeing?
I hear that they Blue Ridge Mountains and Chesapeake Bay are both worth seeing - they are both in Virginia right?
Yes, they are! Great ideas. Have you ever visited the Blue Ridge Mountains?
No I haven't but would love to. I think that the Blue Ridge Tunnel would be an amazing way to see them.
I am terribly afraid of heights, so the thought of a mountain is a little scary to me.
I think a tunnel may be a bit less scary as presumably won't be so high. The tunnel was the longest tunnel in the US when it was finished in 1858. I know what you mean - I'm a bit scared of heights too. 
Maybe I should stick to the Bay! Less chance of driving off a mountain that way!
Haha that's true. I would also like to see the plantations around that area - such an incredible and important part of American history that is so different to British history.
Absolutely! There is so much history in Virginia. As long as I am here I should soak it all in. The plantations sound like a great idea.
The whole slave history and the North American tribes - it's just so far removed from British history - I find it fascinating.
