My Holiday part two

Sorry not to have come back as when I said, but I just got busy.

Tuesday 26th and off up to the Shenandoah National Park in the Blue Ridge Mountains, It was quite a ride up there, tree lined almost all the way, with one or two very old cabins where folk had stayed whilst the Park was being re-forested after the cutting down of timber. We stayed at the Skyland Lodge, which were rows of huts on two storeys, basic but perfectly adequate.

Ours was on the right at the bottom, the windows are at the back with a balcony overlooking the valley.

We only stayed there one night and I would have appreciated longer as it was so peaceful and interesting, We had some deer pass by the balcony and a skunk, the glow-worms were winking brightly, One of the party saw a bear cub on the front lawn.

Next day we went into Colonial Williamsburg, an utterly enchanting little village with lots of shops in alleyways, with no traffic. It was a shopholic's paradise but not cheap.

There was one shop devoted to nothing but Christmas baubles and decorations, Karen loved it and she went in to indulge I stayed outside to take some photographs, the temperature was just over 100 degrees, so had to stay in the shade.

That's it for now folks i've loaned out my literature and without the flyers I can't quite recall the order of things, I'll catch up more as soon as possible, thanks for watching.



Thank you for visiting and please come back, Arlene, Tango and Ru
