Jul 8, 2012 - Day 6 Gettysburg PA to Reading PA

Had a little bit of a sleep in today. Got a little break in the weather but still hot. We are headed into the Amish country of Lancaster PA. Arriving we stopped at a tourist information center to find directions to some working Amish farms. There was a 90 minute bus tour leaving from the center in 10 minutes so we took the bus tour.

We caught a few hours of sleep in Virginia, and were surprised to find that the Washington DC rush hour apparently begins at 5:30am, before most of the normal people in the rest of the country are even awake!...

Or how about that jacket I rarely wear except for 'special occasions.' Who knows, maybe I will fall upon a situation where that sport coat will make or break a possible date...

Oct 21, 2006 - moved from Florida,New York to Hatfield, Penn

Be advised, Hatfield doesn't show correctly on the map, Philly is actually 30 miles South of us. We got together with Art, Vickie, Duana and Dennis and made a decision for our next move, but like they say "the best laid plans of mice and men, often go asunder"....and our's did! We left first being the "recon" unit.....going to the pre-planned destination around Quakertown, Penn. We stopped along the way to get a stamp in our Nat. Park's Passport book. Dingman Falls was a lovely walk to a nice sight! We continued on (after experiencing...
