US Day 2: Gettysburg!
Quick post to say hello! I'm in the lobby of the Super 8 hotel I'm staying at. They have a public computer :) Woo! It's so weird to be doing this right now. Second night in the states.
We left home last night and drove all the way to Scranton, PA. It was a longish drive but not so bad. I kind of wish it had been light out since we would have seen the mountains better. We had to drive through the Poconos. They were freakin' awesome. Before we left Scranton we ate breakfast at the Waffle House. The people were so nice and friendly. It was amazing. The food was really good too. Perfect portion sizes and everything. The waitress we had was one of the best I've ever had. Afterwards we went on the Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour. We got to go in an old mine, 300 feet below the surface. It was really neat :) I took pictures, which I'll post when I get home.
We left Scranton around 2:30ish today. Got here after 6pm. It was a beautiful drive. Pennsylvania is gorgeous. We're going to be here the next couple of days and then it's off to New Jersey and New York City!
We're going to The National Sheep Dog Finals tomorrow. It should be interesting. We're going to try and get in some local sightseeing. I'm still trying to convince my Mum to go down to Washington. I'd like to see the Capitol of the US. Even if we don't make it, we've got fun places left to go to.
Now it's off to watch some House and then bed. I'll try and make more posts the rest of this trip. Yay Internet!
