As we suspected would happen, everything except the churches were closed in downtown Intercourse this morning. We had a short look around the town (while trying to find somewhere for breakfast), then headed east to Philadelphia.
The Amish don’t make little shacks to live in. This was typical of an Amish farm.
Leaman’s Place Covered Bridge south of Intercourse PA.
In Philadelphia we checked out the Liberty Bell, had a great tour of Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence and the US constitution were written and signed, then did a street walk to check out the rest of the old city.
Since it was still early we decided to head north toward our next stop, which will be Boston tomorrow. We landed in Waterbury Connecticut, which means we were in 4 states today – Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut (although we only set foot in 2 – we’ll be going back to NJ and NY later).
Interesting how quickly your perspective changes. Today reached about 42 degrees. To us that was quite a warm day (compared to what we’ve had). That’s about 5 degrees C. It’s going to be a cold night though. -2C already and its only 7pm.
Interesting Temperature comparison.
We had a 42°C temp in Taree while at the hospital yesterday (Wed 20/12).
Mum had her last of 14 consecutive chemo injections in this cycle yesterday , now a 21 day break. Blood levels etc looking great, only the side effects of the chemo now kicking in but should subside.
Did you run up the ‘Rocky’ steps?
