September 12, 2103 Pennsylvania Visiting

Thursday, September 12

Have spent the past few days with Greg's folks, here in New Holland, PA.   What a beautiful area, as we are in the middle of Pennsylvania Dutch country.  Have passed many horse and buggies, men working the fields with horses, clothes lines full of black and white, tobacco harvesting, and more. More photos later....

 Mom treated us to a production of "Noah" at Sight and Sound Theater - an amazing production!  And then we had dinner at Katie's, a nearby PA Dutch restaurant with this statue outside.



Also enjoying the fruits of the land with excellent sweet corn, peaches and more.

Yesterday, Wednesday, we took a jaunt to Hawk Mountain, a migratory area for raptors.  Not alot of raptors, but beautiful scenery including this view from the top of the mountain and this covered bridge from 1869.

Our first covered bridge, built 1869.

Very warm here, but this is likely Summer's last hurrah.

Left Garden Spot for Gwynne's house on Thursday, where we met Barb and Mark, my old roommate from colllege and her husband.  They took us to Victory Brewing Pub near Downingtown for a great lunch.
