3540444769_5162bdb5e8Today 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, 3541253548_115b1451f9WV.  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!

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 copy-of-plants-0232camping in the woods!

Wow great photos Karen. I would love to go there some day…hmmm I think I’ve said that before LOL. I wonder why the vultures were hanging out down there….

my daughter says that black vultures live by the water and like the rocks (perhaps they are sun bathing :) ) maybe if she gets on here and read this she can tell us about them, she is a bit of a bird expert!

We were in Harper’s Ferry years ago…we all loved it and I bought a small lithograph print of the main street that hangs in our living room and always reminds me of our lovely visit.

I saw you’re going to Lancaster, PA. Make sure you see the Amish Quilt Museum in Lancaster City but the best shopping is in Intercourse, I think.

I would love to see all of the places you have been to, but I have to say that the pictures of Harpers Ferry are the most intriguing. I love the artchitecture, it would be a great place to explore. Have fun on your adventure!
