Day 14--On Our Way Home

We left Amish Country a little before 11 am today.   The trip to the Luray Caverns took longer than I expected.  It made for a much longer day than I expected.  We didn't get to the hotel until after 6 and when you added in dinner we didn't get to relax at the hotel until 8pm.  They do have some good British mysteries on TV, so Marcia is very happy.

The Luray Caverns are right off 340N, which runs parallel to the Shenandoah National Park Skyline.  Nice drive because there wasn't much in the way of traffic.  The caverns are magnificent.  We got there just as a tour was getting ready to start.  Unfortunately, it was down a lot of steps and there was a lot of walking involved.  Fortunately the walkways were paved making walking much easier.  It was a little over and hour and I think it was hotter in the caverns than it was up top, and it was also very humid.  Anyway, here are some pics of the formations in the caverns:

 

One more set of caverns tomorrow---one with an elevator and no stairs.  That is the only way Marcia is only doing another one.  At least tomorrow will be a lot less stressful with a lot less driving.
