Today we went to Gettysburg, PA for the afternoon and early evening. I have no photo’s as Mike has not gotten to them but I thought I would post more photo’s from Harpers Ferry, 
WV. Such a pretty old town, the architecture is something else. That is me from the back in this photo to the left. Was a nice day – cold ever since!
There is a neat little restaurant at the bottom of these steps – basement level – photo on the right. Serves the best Greek gyro’s I have had in years – the flat bread was to die for!
Looking off of the bridge we saw these black vultures – one with the wing span out – photo to the left. Pretty neat there were quite a lot of these birds down there on the rocks.
And here two more photos on the bottom right and left of the buildings in the historic town.
I have not gotten any work done on my quilt squares since we got to this park. We have been too busy visiting and seeing things. I will get back to it when we get back to 
camping in the woods!
Harpers Ferry is such a neat old historical town. On Friday when we got here we settled 
into the campground and then spent the late afternoon/early evening looking at things.
The most beautiful (besides the scenery) point of interest I thought was the old Roman Catholic church and the walk up to it — yes a walk up to the church – carved steps in the rock hillside lead to it. The church was original built in the 1830′s I believe and then rebuilt in the 1890′s. Look at these steps on the left photo — and then the photo on the left more steps and finally the church.
Then you keep going around the side of the church – more steps leading to a pathway around the back of the church where you see this view above and to the back of 
the church. The view was outstanding. On the way to this view here is a photo of a crumbly, falling apart building that was also a church
at one time. I do not remember what demonation the church was. Isn’t it beautiful? This whole small historic town is great. We did not go on a formal tour as we were there late in the day but had the freedom to wander at will.
On one of the buildings was this very old door knocker – very unique and unusual.
This weekend we have spent visiting my sister and her family and one of my brothers and his family that live in the area also. Lots of talking and good food both days – I made breakfast this morning at the campground but have not cooked all weekend other than that! Tomorrow we will drive to Gettysburg PA to see the sites.
We leave this campground Tuesday morning for a short drive to Lancaster, PA - we will camp there for two nights I think so that I can see all the great quilting stuff in that area. We had not planned that stop but my dear husband knows how much it would please me being so close to the area that he suggested today why didn’t we make that our next stop before we turn around and start heading home through Kentucky. I bet I just might find something to get at the “Old Country Store” and others have mention other quilt shops right in the very area that I never saw before so I just might run into a couple other places and have to be dragged out before I go crazy!!
