I (Randi) will be accepting responsibility for the verbiage in our blog beginning today and Ivan will take credit for the pictures and posting the blog. We all have our strengths!
We drove across the parking lot to the garage at 8:00 AM, hopeful that our repair would be completed as expected before noon. The first report was not encouraging, but this facility really makes an effort to accommodate those of us who are traveling. They were terrific! We were on the road by 11:45 and on our way to Gettysburg.
We arrived at our campground early and had time to visit the Gettysburg National Military Park Visitors Center and Museum. It contains the film “We are Met on a Great Battlefield”, and the Gettysburg Museum of the American Civil War. The most impressive part of our visit was the Battle of Gettysburg” cyclorama, the original 377 foot painting by Paul Philippoteaux of Pickett’s Charge, completed in 1884. No cameras were allowed, so you will just have to visit this major piece of our history in order to appreciate the 2 ½ hours we spent there.
The early evening was spent sitting outside with Curt and Yvonne, catching up on the last 36 hours when we were separated. Good to be back together!
