WE ARE ON OUR WAY!!!
Joe and I left this morning on our 4 month trip. We stopped for a quick breakfast
about three miles from home than turned into a real event. There was a 1931 Model A in the parking lot, a lady in the restaurant whose father or grandfather had had an E-M-F many, many years before, a WW II Veteran (Navy and in the Pacific Theater -Okinawa and other operations) and a couple we knew. I had worked with the lady at a college in York some years ago and her friend is an AACA judge. The word got out in the restaurant that we were in the parking lot and they all had to come out and see the car and hear about the trip. Our quick breakfast became an hour.
The day has gone well, the temperature pleasant at mid 80's, car running perfectly, and the roads beautiful. We traveled north along the east side of the Susquehanna River to Williamsport for the night. If you are ever traveling Rt 147 along the river, be sure to stop in at the Front Street Station in Northumberland, PA. It is an old train depot that is full of railroad memorabilia, still has the original benches and ladies and men's bathrooms. The food was absolutely top notch! Being the first day of the trip, we celebrated with dessert - the best Tiramisu I have ever eaten.
