On a drive one afternoon, we went out to the Shrine Mont, the cathedral shrine of the diocese of Virginia. The shrine is near the Virginia House, formerly known as the Orkney Springs Hotel, where in the late 1800s, folks used to come for rest and relaxation. The green-shuttered white hotel is four stories high and 96,000 square feet. The common areas, meeting rooms and dining facilities were all restored in 1987. For more information on the Shrine and the Virginia House, see their web site at: http://www.shrinemont.com/. There's a better picturre of the hotel than I could take on that site.
