A short vacation built around a trip to pick up Amy returning from a semester in The Gambia.
A day in Harper’s Ferry:
John Brown’s Fort (monument on the actual site in the foreground, where the re-built fort sits today in the background):
B&B in Gettysburg
What Pickett’s men saw (well, the monuments are extra, and there may be a few bluecoats missing, but …)
Looking back towards the Confederate positions (from halfway between Seminary and Cemetery Ridges):
A side trip to Eisenhower’s farm
That’s Ronald Reagan’s signature in the guestbook on the upper right:
And then to Harrisburg to collect Amy at the airport (why Harrisburg? Long story …).
How was Amy’s trip?
Fantastic. I am not sure what she was expecting, but the experience exceeded everything we could have hoped for. She made good friends and reveled in the day-to-day life in The Gambia.
I won’t tell you about her grandmother’s reaction to some of the, um, customs (like hitchhiking to get around).
