More Best Shots

My Daughter, Molly let me know how to put more than 5 pictures at a time on the blog...thanks Molly....so here are the rest of our best shots from our recent trip (in our opinion). We took lots of pictures of the Stature of Liberty as we were coming and going on the ship from NY. The one above is one of the best, taken early morning on our return. The two geese shots were taken at the same time, as a whole flock flew by the bow of the ship at eye level. And then the sunrise over Manhattan was also taken close to the same time. The final picture is in Intercourse PA, and speaks for its self.

A Visit to Intercourse

Intercourse, PA that is.

Today we took a drive with Kate and Jon to the heart of Amish country in PA, about 75 miles or so from where Kate and Jon live in Easton. We started out going to Lancaster, one of the biggest towns in Amish Country. The first picture above is of Kate and Jon standing in the town Square in Lancaster. Robert Fulton was from Lancaster (remember "Fulton's Folly") we went into an interesting museum, and had a good lunch while we were there. We then drove out into the country where we saw several horse drawn carriages (5th photo) and headed to Intercourse where we stopped at a fun little village of shops mostly filled with local Amish made goods. The 2nd thu 4th pictures above were taken there. We also visited the Amish furniture store where Kate and Jon have purchased some of their furniture. After Intercourse (the town) we drove off into the country where we saw hundreds of the most pristine farms and farms lands that we have ever seen. A truly beautiful part of the country. Tomorrow a total change of scenery from today...New York City!
