Roanoke: A Very Pleasant Surprise

Saturday, August 24 - As we were running a lithe short on time on Saturday afternoon, I said to Sandy, "Don't worry -- It's ok if we get to Roanoke a little late.  I don't think there's really much to see there.  Boy, was I wrong.  First, Sandy had booked us at the historic Hotel Roanoke.  I had no idea that we'd be arriving at such a landmark.  Second, greeting us like a beacon on the hill over the city was the famous Roanoke Star, which has been an icon for the city since 1949.  Finally, what a hopping historic downtown on a Saturday night!  While we were not up for partying all night, we did take a walk around a few blocks to check it out.
