... sides. Of course, homes by the river are highly prized. <br><br>The P&#8217;s are not lucky enough to live at the river, but their home is on a quiet dead-end street and it is also very nice. They have a small garage which makes parking easier. Catherine says that this Sunday she and Julia will take things to an annual flea market in the town. They will sell things that they are staging now in the garage and buy more things to replace them. She and ...

... ov** the edge if I didn't reply. Once he did this really fast punching action into the air infront of him which made me flinch. In the end, though, he didn't give me any trouble and got up and walked away to find someone else to share his hatred with. I was glad for my ally on the oth** side, and we chatted about the crazies you see at the bus station. Needless to say, I was one of the first to get back into the line when the bus arrived!<br>

... the moneychangers, checking ATM, and credit card. Using credit cards directly with merchant was the easiest and for our trip averaged 3.75NIS to $1. ATM getting 3.8 but being pretty hard to do at several ATM&#8217;s where everything began in Hebrew. So if you had an English option you had to read Hebrew to know how to find English! <br><br>Cash with the money changers was the best rate (slightly) at 3.875 consistently

Well we started off right, but we hit lots of traffic on Rt. 95 heading into Mt.Vernon and Richmond. Made a historic pit stop at Mt. Vernon. Pretty impressive place. I almost embarrassed Kristi and had us kicked out for rubbing my face on General Washington's pillow. They take that stuff very seriously nowadays.<br><br>Then off to Richmond where we met Ryan and Kelly. First night...hotel...not bad. <br>We hit ...

Sunday July 26, 2009<br><br>Luba and I slept in until about 830am. Bevil and Stewart were, of course, up, dressed and waiting for us. Bevil and Stewart took us to O'Doul&#8217;s for breakfast and then afterwards took us to visit the family plot at the Hollywood Cemetery. It was great to see that Luba was actually interested to see where my father and family were buried. After a short ride through Richmond we headed back to the ...

The trip from Indianapolis, IN through KY and WVA was hectic and nothing new to see except for a quick tour of Louisville, KY. <br><br>The roads were really bad and conjested from Indianapolis on. We overnighted in Louisville and took a quick, err, slow tour on the horse cart around the downtown area. Not a bad city, except for ...

... bye also to Bobbi's 98 year old mother, Evelyn, who is a dear! Bright and chipper, interested in life, alert, doesn't hear well, or see very well either, but she still reads the paper from cover to cover every day, and has comments to make about the goings on. I sure hope I'm as 'with it' when I'm her age. Good-bye too, to Sasha, Bobbi's miniature schnauzer; she and Scooter got along pretty well and Sasha shared her toys nicely. Leaving Onancock, I drove down Hwy. 13, which bisects the ...

... out Colonial Williamsburg. I was unimpressed. Watching people in historical costumes alternate between texting and bad acting isn't worth $40 to me. But the buildings were nice, and it was a pleasant little town to stroll around. But at no point did I feel I had been transported back to the 18th century. There's something less than authentic about vending machines with $3 bottles of water and ads announcing "Ye Must Be Thirsty. Quencheth It You Scallywag!" I ...

... stopped), and bought some chocolate covered peanuts at The Peanut Shop, expensive &amp; tastes like it. We spent the day walking around Colonial Williamsburg, checking out some of the old buildings, gardens and the Governor's Mansion (worth the extra money), we also spent an extra $12.50 each (minus our son) for a 15 minutes carriage ride which we ...

... OK, I'm done. There is a National Park there with, I assume, some hot springs. It also has an overlook tower that overlooks something, and its also the boyhood home of Bill Clinton. The billboards didn't mention where Monica was from, but the one advertising the location of the Cracker Barrell was right on. We arrived at Phils on Nov. 5th. It had been a while since we last ...
