Today, Florence and I had the opportunity to visit Gettysburg National Park, and given that we started the day with very limited knowledge of Gettysburg or the Civil War for that matter, we didn't exactly know what we were going to see and learn. What we saw and learned was so much more than I can ever put on this blog, but overall it was a very good day.....incredibly interesting, awe inspiring in it's scope, and very sad at the ...

The big push continues with another day of cloud watching as some spectacular scenery rolls by. I loved riding up thru WV and MD. Beautiful horse farms, mountains and fall colors kept me from staring too hard at all the dark, ponderous clouds lurking along the hilltops. The temps ranged from 54 to 72 F (briefly). Do not expect to see the 70s again.<br>But at least we are tucked in and no drops have touched the big fella. Just a frost warning for tonight and chilly temps tomorrow.

As I begin to pull the suitcase from the basement and organize my clothes, my thoughts turn to Central America once again. For the fourth time in just over two years, I will return to Central America with Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity and spend a week building, not only homes, but also building relationships with my colleagues.<br><br>In the fall of 2007, I was chosen to be part of the first FRAP (Financial Representative Ambassador ...

... we go back to our Hershey, PA hotels and rest for another fun day. <br><br>4. The next day we begin with the Trolley Tour. The Trolley Tour has to be the best way to site see through historical Hershey, Pa. With tour guides dressed in historical garments we take a fun and informative trip. My favorite part of the trolley tour is when we pass the lights that are shaped like Hershey kisses and the ...

One thing for sure, you will never find out what is going on in America driving the interstates. They are a wonderful way to get from here to there but, except for regional differences in the vegetation along the way, they are completely sterile and without in any way reflecting the land they are passing through. Travelling these strips of landscaped concrete that connect nodules of chain motels and restaurants, you see nothing of America and its wonderful diversity ...

We were on our way to meet Reena's old school friend from back in Singapore. We found ourself driving straight threw Pennsylvania. This is where Ram when to high school.<br><br>We made some quick calls and Ram found a high school friend that he hasn't seen or even talked to in 8 years!

I visited Harrisburg by myself in November 1993 on my long State Capitals trip. It was after Lansing and before Trenton, as I recall! Spent a HARD DAY driving across the state to get there. The sun was in my eyes, blinding me at that end-of-day angle. I couldn't read the road signs and got edged into the wrong lane by a big truck hogging the road; almost had a case of road rage; thought I was in the wrong place and stopped at a donut shop to ask which way I should go ...
