Another great and busy day we had today. So busy that Marlene has crashed in bed and I'm doing the blog for the day. The day started out early in Philly. We rolled our four suitcases a block or two to the Gray Hound bus station, and caught the bus to Easton. The first picture above shows an excited Marlene waiting patiently for the bus to arrive. After a scenic but somewhat slow bus ride, we did arrive in Easton where Kate came and picked us up....it was somewhat of a challenge to get all the luggage and us into Kate's little car...but we made it, and I can almost stand straight again. After going to see Kate & Jon's house, which is very cute we all drove out to a wonderful park along a canal that was used to float coal for many years to the steel mills in this part of Pennsylvania. We got to take a great ride on a reproduction of one of those canal boats pulled by two strong, young mules. The boat and the mules are pictured above. We then had a wonderful picnic that Kate had prepared. We then went back to Easton and checked into our hotel, which is an old restored home on a hill overlooking Easton. One of the photos above shows Marlene and me standing in front of that hotel. We ended the day back at Kate and Jon where we took a walk through the beautiful old cemetery near their home and ended the day with a great meal that Kate and Jon prepared. All in all a very busy and fun day.
