... and I have been running most afternoons, helping to improve her Spanish during the run. Alex and I have been playing football and soccer and I even managed to catch one of the last games of his soccer season. I’ve been able to attend a few of their 'student’ functions, help them with their homework, and read Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein most evenings. Meanwhile, I visited my parent’s home in ...

... saw a picture somewhere? You used to be able to actually get guided tours in the factory but they stopped in the 70's. So now there's Chocolate World which is built up by the Hershey Theme Park, with it's many rollercoasters (only open in high season so didn't make it on those).

We called Steve & Joanne and met them at the entrance to the highway. We were finally on the road at 10:00 am. We had quite a few gas & potty stops on the way. Plus there was quite ...

... so close and miss it. We did get a brief smell of chocolate in the air even through the wind and rain. It was a very fun place for the kids. Of course, it is all geared to get you to buy chocolate. After the movie and ride you end up in the very large gift store that sells all the chocolate stuff you could ever want. The only thing we bought was two mochas (that were actually horrible ...

... such traditional values.

We drove into the small (but unfortunately named) town of Intercourse, which is considered the heart of the Dutch County. It didn’t take long to discover why it has that reputation. There were scores of covered wagons either moving up and down the town’s streets or parked next to cars and buses in the town’s various parking lots.
