Since Taylor had biked past Roanoke to Troutville yesterday, today we drove back to that spot for the start of the day. This would be a shorter day, with plan to meet up later in Lexington and drive from Lexington to Corhaven Retreat Center, near New Market/Mt Jackson, VA.
Bill and Tara's kids showed us around the property
At the Jesus statue...sorry I couldn't rotate this one for some reason today...
A peaceful re, treat from biking...sleep in a historic building, hearty meals, farm animals...and we got to ponder our country's history as we quietly visited the slave grave on the property, learning the names and stories of some souls who are most likely buried there.
Before leaving we had a lovely meal at Gail Scherer's lovely historic house, filled with hospitality, love and family time. We loved our time with this part of the Haley clan ;)
