| 0:00.0 | Today's 10-minute walk is helping you stay fitness consistent, so let's go for a walk. |
| 0:10.0 | Day two in Colonial Williamsburg, and today on the Duke of Gloucester Street, I'm heading towards |
| 0:17.0 | Merchants Square. This has been here since as long as Ava and I have been coming to Williamsburg |
| 0:23.6 | and we came here on our honeymoon, so 40 years ago. |
| 0:28.6 | And this is the area of Colonial Williamsburg that is filled with restaurants and shops, gift shops, clothing stores, specialty shops. |
| 0:43.6 | And some of these stores have essentially been unchanged since Ava and I first started coming here. |
| 0:51.7 | Others have changed quite a bit. |
| 0:57.0 | In fact, I'm walking past a store right now. I don't remember what this was originally. 40 years ago when Ava and I |
| 1:03.4 | first started coming here, but for many years, this was a Barnes & Noble. It was the College, |
| 1:09.8 | College of William and Mary bookstore, and it was partnered with a Barnes and Noble. So it was open to the public and Dave and I would go in here frequently while we were visiting Williamsburg and we would get a cup of coffee, maybe a snack, sit down, grab a book or two magazine and just kind of check them out and talk. |
| 1:31.3 | And it is no longer a Barnes & Noble. |
| 1:34.3 | I'm crossing a street. It's early in the morning. |
| 1:37.3 | There is nothing here. |
| 1:39.3 | Anyhow, the Barnes & Noble is gone and now it's a Lulu Lemon and a campus shop. |
| 1:45.6 | So you can buy William and Mary gear, sweatshirts, t-shirts, hats, |
| 1:52.0 | shorts, that sort of thing. |
| 1:54.7 | This place I love, absolutely love. |
| 1:59.3 | It is the cheese shop. When Ava and I first started coming here 40 years ago, |
| 2:04.0 | was in a different location. It was about a block away. They make the best sandwiches. And just |
| 2:12.3 | about every time that Ava and I would come, we would stop at the cheese shop and get lunch. And I had dinner there |
| 2:19.3 | last night. It is a long time Williamsburg staple. Absolutely love that. And across the |
| 2:27.9 | street, so the Duke of Gloucester Street is blocked off. And so you can walk, you can run. I think you can even ride a bike. |
