Visited Thomas Jefferson’s home Monticello.  The name means “little hill” in Italian and Jefferson chose to build it at the top of a hill overlooking his plantation.  A hill with no water supply.  But why worry about that when you own slaves who can constantly be dragging buckets of water or ice up from the river at the bottom of the hill, right?The obelisk over Jefferson’s grave is notable for the pointed omission of being President from his list of what he considered his most important accomplishments.  The tree-covered slopes of Monticello.
