he was invited back to monticello. so by this time, you know, the jeffersons had long since lost the house the levy family a jewish family. that was very inspired by jefferson's commitment to religious freedom. they had bought it and they welcomed peter fawcett back. back home, so he had left auctioned off from the west lawn of monticello, and he walked back in as an old man through the front steps. so so the you know, the journeys brought me to many different places both in europe in my mind and considering this this man who had once been my hero, but i now saw more critically. but but at the end i think it left me, you know, very enriched. it definitely definitely thinking that you know, we do need to remember jefferson and along with all these other people at the mountain, you know on monticello mountain. it's a way of remembering this whole time period that we all share in our history as americans. and and it's still left me with many stories of jefferson. that i still that i still enjoyed and and looked at despite
