I spent the afternoon walking the inclined streets of Nevada City. Mining relics line the streets and historic buildings keep you moving forward. I kept my eyes open, searching for building that would have existed during the time period I'm writing in.
I peeked into the National hotel and took pictures of the items they had on display. It's been some time since I saw it last. My fresh eyes will better be able to describe it's "L" shaped staircase adjacent to the front entrance and the long, hallway shape to the lobby.
I took pictures of the other buildings, including the church, the Mason's building and one I believe was firehouse.
I discovered that the "Carriage House" was much too far for Allison to walk to - she would have had to send a note =)
Tomorrow we're on our way to North Bloomfield itself. I've been eating up any literature or photographs I can find of the town, but being able to stand in the middle of Main Street and ask all the questions that I long to have answered will be exciting. Allison, Ian and Evelyn are becoming more and more alive!
Happy Reading,
Emily
There is something to be said for observing life as it happens and taking the time to record it. How else would we know our history?
