It was constructed during 1867–68 at the request of Robert E. Lee, who was president of the school (then known as Washington College), and after whom the university is, in part, named. The Victorian brick architectural design was probably the work of Lee's son, George Washington Custis Lee, with details contributed by Col. Thomas Williamson, an architect and professor of engineering at the neighboring Virginia Military Institute. Upon completion and during Robert E. Lee's lifetime it was known as the College Chapel. Lee was buried beneath the chapel in 1870. <br /> <br /> The centerpiece of the apse of the chapel—in the place where an altar is located in the traditional plan of a Christian church—is a statue of Lee, in his uniform, asleep on an unnamed Civil War battlefield. The "Recumbent Lee" is by sculptor Edward Valentine whose statue of Lee, formerly displayed as one of Virginia's representatives in National Statuary Hall, was removed from the U.S. Capitol, and whose statues of Jefferson Davis were removed from Richmond, Virginia's Monument Avenue and New Orleans.<br /> <br /> The recumbent statue was unveiled and dedicated as the main feature of the chapel on June 28, 1883. The keynote speaker, John W. Daniel, soon to be a U.S. senator from Virginia, and filling in for the absent Jefferson Davis, said of Robert E. Lee's decision to lead the armed forces of Virginia at the outset of the Civil War, "Since the Son of Man stood upon the Mount, and saw 'all the kingdoms of the earth and the glory thereof' stretched before him, and turned away from them to the agony and bloody sweat of Gethsemane, and to the Cross of Calvary beyond, no follower of the meek and lowly Saviour can have undergone more trying ordeal [than Lee]. Thus, with as chaste a heart as ever plighted its faith until death, for better or for worse, [Lee] came to do, to suffer, and to die for us."<br /> <br /> In the basement a crypt (added after Lee's burial) contains the remains of much of Lee's direct family: Lee himself, his wife Mary Anna Custis Lee, his seven children—George Washington Custis Lee, Mary Custis Lee, William Henry Fitzhugh Lee, Anne Carter Lee, Robert E. Lee Jr., Eleanor Agnes Lee, and Mildred Childe Lee, and his parents—Revolutionary War Major-General Henry "Light-Horse Harry" Lee, and Anne Hill Carter Lee. Lee's favorite horse, Traveller, is buried just outside the Chapel, where many visitors leave coins, apples, and other tributes. In the basement of the Chapel is a museum that illuminates the history of the families of George Washington and Robert E. Lee as well as that of the university itself. Lee's office has been meticulously preserved almost exactly as it was when he died.</p>

Very sunny with clear skies for New Years Day in Tokyo, and many people outside going to the Jinja shrines for Hatsumode, the first visit to the shrines to wish for a good year. A nice view to see for the first time in a few years since COVID kept people indoors this past few New Years. Unfortunately, the Noto region was hit with a big earthquake in the evening o New Years Day, with some major damage in the area. Praying for the people in the region. <img alt="240101fuji.jpg" src="http://cycle-tokyo.cycling.jp/weblog/240101fuji.jpg" width="720" height="480" />

<img alt="200409stayhometokyo.jpg" src="http://cycle-tokyo.cycling.jp/weblog/archives/images/200409stayhometokyo.jpg" width="420" height="236" /> As a group that usually welcomes everyone to visit and enjoy cycling in Tokyo, this is an unfortunate post. The widespread of the Corona Virus is growing in Tokyo, on the verge of overshoot. On 7 April Prime Minister Abe proclaimed a state of emergency from 8 April to 6 May for Tokyo and the prefectures of Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Osaka, Hyogo and Fukuoka. It is strongly suggested that visiting Tokyo be avoided. People already in Tokyo should avoid meeting in groups and visiting places where people gather. Please be conscious about keeping social distance in order to prevent spreading or receiving the virus. You, or the person next to you may be a virus carrier. Many shops and facilities will be closed following the issuing of the State of Emergency. <strong><u>Cycle Tokyo! will postpone all guided rides until it is deemed safe.</u></strong> Your understanding is appreciated. Riding the bike is good to keep fit during this <strong>#stayhome #staysafe</strong> time. Keep cycling around the neighborhood by yourself....NO GROUP RIDING. Again, please stay safe and healthy, and hope we'll be able to ride together around Tokyo again ! <ul> <li><a href="https://stopcovid19.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/en">Tokyo Metropolitan Goverment "Tokyo COVID-19 Information" (EN) - https://stopcovid19.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/en</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.japan-guide.com/news/alerts.html">JapanGuide.com "Travel Alerts and Disaster Updates" - https://www.japan-guide.com/news/alerts.html </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.japantimes.co.jp/liveblogs/news/coronavirus-outbreak-updates/">The Japan Times "COVID-19 news updates" - https://www.japantimes.co.jp/liveblogs/news/coronavirus-outbreak-updates/ </a></li> </ul> <a href="http://cycle-tokyo.cycling.jp/weblog/archives/images/visitor_hotline-2.jpg"><img alt="visitor_hotline-2.jpg" src="http://cycle-tokyo.cycling.jp/weblog/archives/images/visitor_hotline-2.jpg" width="420" height="255" /></a>
