Our *other* itinerary
Jul. 15th, 2004 10:12 pmSaturday July 24
Drive about two hours to Lancaster County, PA.
Check into the Greystone Manor B&B in Bird-in-Hand, where we have reserved adjoining double and single rooms with air conditioning.
Take a tour of Amish farm country by horse and buggy, visiting working farms on back roads where cars are not permitted. Then tour one house and farm in close-up detail. Inflict upon our poor, unsuspecting Spanish student the unique American cultural experience of the "corn maze."
Go back to the B&B to swim and change before dinner.
Eat Pennsylvania Dutch food.
Lounge about in the B&B for a quiet evening, possibly to include hot tubbing, games, reading, watching the sunset. Alternatively, try to inveigle fellow travelers into playing miniature golf.
Sunday July 25
Eat a big, indulgent German-American breakfast.
Visit the Lancaster County Quilt and Textile Museum.
Possibly wind up Sunday by renting kayaks and paddling around the Susquehanna. Alternatively, poke around in shops for a while and then head home.
Should provide an interesting contrast to the New York trip.
