NYC, Amish country, and DC again!

Sorry for the delay… been having long days with this group and been just too tired to blog…

We’re now on day 4 of this trip… the Bath YMCA “Freedom Tour”… we started in NYC for two days… that was actually tolerable this time around… I went in with an attitude that the bus was a tank and frig them if they got in my way!  Only had one a$$hole cabbie get aggressive with me and that was it!

Next we spent last night in Lancaster, PA… heart of the Amish community there… wasn’t THAT a blast!  Had some awesome food last night at a Amish restauraunt which was nice… the hotel, however, was a nightmare…

Today rocked though!  Took a driving / guided tour of Gettysburg… absolutely awesome in the literal sense of the word… one thing I remember the tour guide (who came on the buses and told us each where to go while he “narrated” sts…) was that during the first four days, over 1 MILLION (yes with an M) rounds were fired… for 70,000 casualties.  To see some of the buildings in “downtown” Gettysburg where there are STILL bullet holes was incredible…

Sadly… I forgot to pack my cable for my camera, so you’re gonna have to wait until Wednesday when I get home (probably Thursday) to off-load them and post.

Tomorrow it’s DC… Arlington and the National Mall… Then Tuesday it’s the war memorials (Korean, WWII, Vietnam), staying in Secaucus, NJ… then Wednesday it’s back into NYC for the Today Show (don’t bother looking for me…but if you see any kids in blue wind-breakers or adults with red wind-breakers that’s my group)… then it’s North-bound and home!

Anyways… I’ll try to post again tomorrow night…and I’ll definitely post when I get the pics up!
