Running out of time, so this is just a short update
Yesterday found ourselves heading west to the Gettysburg, National Military Park
This is also the site where they fought the Battle of Gettysburg. The battlefield was 25 square miles so we took the 2 hour bus tour with narrating guide
It was so sad to see one country in so much turmoil over the freeing of slaves
What luck to find the traveling gnome who had just come back from overseas
to come here to visit with President Abraham Lincoln
Glad you are managing a few touristy sights with your busy schedule. At least you are still having fun.

Deletewe are attending scheduled events. Our free time is starting later this week where we will be touring the south east for a week or so
Hopefully you'll get some time to explore Gettysburg. Some interesting displays and places there.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking kinda damp...
Richard:
Deletewe were a bit time challenged, and the weather was a bit wet so we took the bus tour. It is kind of sad that this had to happen
Bob, I loved Gettysburg, so full of history (and Harleys when I was there.) Enjoy your stop in New Stanton and the rest of your journey.

DeleteIf we had more time we would have explored a bit more. We were traveling with the NJ caravan and had to adhere to their schedules
Battlefields and military cemeteries leave me pensive and sad.
ReplyDeleteOne day I want to visit our war dead in France and Belgium.
David:
DeleteI agree, it was so sad to see people from the same country killing each other
I think the gnome captures the mood of the Gettysburg address just so.
