Home is Where the Cart Is

Kim and I made to Newark from Prague early Monday afternoon. But for the second time in 3 weeks, Continental Airlines stranded me overnight in an airport (with no compensation whatsoever due to "weather"). We stayed in a Hampton near the airport. But, Continental, this is really getting old in a hurry...

We arrived in Harrisburg, PA again on Monday afternoon, and Kim exclaimed that we were "home"! Sort of. At this point, we're saying that Home is where the Cart (Jeep) is :-)

So we've been staying with Connor and Margaret this week.

Connor just took his medical board exams on Monday (congrads, Connor!), and they're about to move back to Baton Rouge, so we've been helping them clean out their freezer. Yeah, it's tough... Feasting on red beans and rice, and gumbo :-) Mmmm, the best Cajun food we've had since Kiln, MS some 3,000 miles ago.

Last night, we went to the world famous Hotel Hershey, which was absolutely gorgeous!

Built in the 1920s, it's reminiscent of an Egyptian palace.

And it overlooks the Hershey factories with Pennsylvania's mountainous horizon in the distance.

I got a hair cut and beard trim in a little old fashion barbershop in downtown Hummelstown, PA. Talk about Americana...

We're heading to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY tomorrow, and Niagara Falls for the weekend. Stay tuned ;-)
