When Sacrament meeting was over, we drove the short distance to Harper's Ferry. After checking in and changing my shoes, we climbed on the shuttle to Lower Town.
Harper's Fery was not really what I expected. Nearly all the old houses and storefronts had been turned into various museums. My sweetie was so sad that he couldn't really buy fudge at the confectionery!
The first building we went into showed us a little movie about the various floods that kept taking out the town.
Harper's Ferry is at the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers, so that isn't really surprising. After looking inside several buildings, we walked over to the bridge leading to Maryland. It spans the Potomac just before the Confluence.
We walk slow, but it wasn't too long before we got off the bridge. We decided to get something to eat, so we stopped at a cute little pub with a crazy small winding staircase leading to the second floor. (That's where the restroom was...)
The food was way good, especially the french fries.
After several more buildings and a run through the gift shop, we caught the shuttle back to the visitor's center.
Our feet were hurting from all the walking on uneven terrain, so we decided to take a dip in the hot tub.
Then it was a quick dinner of pita bread and soup in the room, and we decided to call it a day.
More excitement tomorrow...
