Still here in intercourse, PA

We are still here in beautiful Intercourse, PA. The weather has been spectacular. Cool and very low humidity.
I didn't think that life would be good without TV. But, the local stations don't come in very well (we are near Lancaster), so don't get very good reception.
We are under trees on all sides so satellite is out. Brenda & I have enjoyed no TV, and enjoyed visiting with our neighbors.
Speaking of neighbors, the couple next to us belong to a bluegrass gospel group.
They are all here for a session in a church this am, and will have a concert in New Holland this evening.
We sat in on their rehearsal last night. The music brought out some other couples, and we had a good chat and good music.
We did get to the Yeungling Brewery in Pottsville, on Friday. A great tour, not behind glass or any barrier from the brewery. The guide was very enthusiastic and was very informative. The tour was free with free beer samples.
The drive was very nice. I'm not sure I would take the coach, as there are 10% grades on the road up to Pottsville.
This is Amish Country. They are everywhere. They don't drive cars, so they have horse and buggies. They were here first so they take their buggies wherever they wish with little regard for traffic. I hear that there is an Amish museum close, and I really want to go to it so that I can learn more about these people.
They dress the same, very plainly. I hear that they are very wealthy, but they are not ostentatious about it.
We are planning a trip to Gettysburg tomorrow. The kids will be back in school, so should not be too crowded.
We went to Hershey for the tour. It was nice, but the crowds were horrendous.
We thought that the chocolate might be a little less expensive at the factory, but alas that was not the case. You can buy it cheaper at Sam's or Costco. We spent about an hour and a half there. If we had had Lindsay with us,
we would have done the amusement park. It is not aimed at adults our ages, but for children. (and there were a ton of them there).
We are leaving for Fredericksburg, VA. on Friday and we hope to see David and his family while we are there. There is a limited number of CGs close in around DC, so we decided to to go to Fredericksburg.
We have to be back in Houston by the 1st of October. Gwen Craig (Rayford Crossing) has offered us a job in her other CG (Timber Ridge Village) as camp hosts for the winter. We are looking forward to the experience.
Will post more as we continue our travels.
Ta ta for now.
