Visited the U of VA this afternoon. Thomas Jefferson was the father of this U. He designed the Rotunda [picture to your left] as well as many other buildings. This was the first secular U in the US. The rest were tied to a church in some fashion. While religious, Jefferson firmly believed in the separation of church and state. Tomorrow morning, we have a tour of Monticello scheduled then off to the Natural Bridge.
