Pennsylvania

A Mystic sunrise was lovely as we sat alongside the bay after a night at the Pequot Indians' Foxwoods Casino. The three masted schooner cast a long shadow across the water.

We made several stops along the coast, maneuvered around New York, and through New Jersey. Of course I had to complete a geocache in each state so we even ducked into Delaware for a short while.

I could not get in touch with Jennifer in Kennett Square but we enjoyed a fine visit with the Elks in West Chester, PA before continuing west and south.

I just had to visit Amish Country once more! If only it had not been Sunday and we could have visited the Maple Grove market!

we took the backroads from Gap and all seemed so peaceful in the surrounding countryside. Children were playing and riding their scooters.

Transportation is just a little slower among these backroads.

Several families we met were apparently returning home from church.


After we crossed the Potomac we stopped at Harper's Ferry in West Virginia. What an interesting town on the hillside owned partly by individuals and partly by the national park service. We had just missed a reenactment complete with the marine band. There is so much history in this part of the country, including both Revolutionary War and Civil War. People interested in such could just get really excited!
