62 degrees? Is that really the temperature?? It rained in the night as a front came through, leaving us with a cool, crisp morning. We had breakfast in a restaurant served and apparently cooked by amish girls. It was a buffet so I got to try local dishes like scrapple: made of scraps left over from butchering made into a loaf that is then fried and served for breakfast. I also tried corned beef hash for the first time.....and the last :) !!
After breakfast we headed north toward Dingmans Ferry to find Charlie.
There are barns and silos all over this area. Different looking for a Texas girl, but I guess the silos hold the feed for the animals over the cold cold winters up here. I love the look of the dutch (I guess) style of the barns. As we climb north, the trees again get thicker and taller. Just beautiful
We made it to Dingman's Ferry about midday and had no trouble finding Charlie's place. At this point let me put in a plug for GPS systems. They're wonderful! If you have an address or even just a city as a destination, you plug it into the GPS and you can then drive without having to worry about looking for signs, watching a map really closely etc. You can enjoy the sites along the way and count on the GPS to get you to your next destination without appearing to be a frustrating newbie Texas driver frustrating other drivers on the Pennsylvania roadway. and so-- here is Charlie's beautiful house/art studio!!
We quickly unpacked and celebrated our arrival.
Charlie was a wonderful host. We had a tour of the house and had lunch before heading out to Port Jurvis, New York to an afternoon artwalk.
After purchasing a few treasures, we went by the grocery store and got food to grill for dinner. The evening was cool and we ate on the deck and it was AMAZING for being mid-July.
Next post: Milford, PA...it's like we could run into Beaver Cleaver on the corner! Just a story-book little community.... Love!
