    • If they aren't gold plated, they should be. Drink machines like the featured one outside the Visitor's Centre and across Colonial Williamsburg charge $2 for a miserable bottle of water. I'll bet that during the summer, they keep the water in the omnipresent drinking fountains warm to make tourists, who pay $33 a pop at the very least for admission, captive audiences to these cussed vending machines and to the restaurants. Maybe visitors to Colonial Williamsburg ought to stage a soft drink party dumping the soft drinks into the nearest body of water to protest these confiscatory prices which would have done King George III proud!

    Alternative: Bring your own in a mini cooler. I know of no prohibition against doing that.

     Forget that turkey sandwich, Nat. Hog Wild or even La Tienda would be a better eating option every time!    		ATXtraveler Wed Feb 27, 2008 16:06 UTC
     Sorry to hear your Open Faced Turkey should have been a closed casket affair. Why the distain for mashed potatoes though?
