From the sounds of your description these caves in VA may come closer to providing a USA connection that is also worth viewing. When in that area you could also include a hike in Big Meadows, and a wetlands in the mountains! all part of the Shenandoah National Park. Also if in Kentucky, go to Land Between the Lakes, where if you wait long enough you can see Buffalo and elk as the native Americans may have viewed them. It provides an excellent opportunity to view wildlife as well as many historical features. I miss my students but I am so glad to be retired; now I can play "hookie" from school and travel! Thanks for all of your insight into places in Europe that man of us may not get a chance to visit and explore. I hope that when we visit Ron & Sue in NM I get a chance to chat with you some more.

Its stalags and stalacs were pretty wonderful! When are you coming back to the U.S.? Where will you spend Thanksgiving? Do they eat turkeys there? Where will you be for Christmas? I personally think you should go back to Vienna! It always sounded like the perfect Christmas place!!! I just finished making a pumpkin and cream pie!!
