Friday - Mt Tremper to Bird-in-Hand Pa.

What a fabulous time we had journeying to Pennsylvania. We skipped west from New York state to Tunkahanna Pa. with just one stop for extra coffee along the way.
Why did we go to Tunkahanna? To visit Endless Mountains Quiltworks, that's why! (Oh and to be interview by two local newspapers).
www.emquiltworks.comWhat fun. Jeannette and her crew at the quilt store were very welcoming, even though we surprised them by arriving early. Lunch was supplied by a local sandwich shop. Very yummy.
Our journey there was via a good highway surrounded by trees, trees and more trees - all doing their best to look fabulous in their fall colours.
Our fabulous driver, Jasmin, took over the tour at this stage and detoured us via a fabulous store that she loves. MORE SHOPPING!

As we headed south through Pennsylvania the open filed, silos and buggies made the area become very Amish. Many of the farms have electricity to the shed, but never to the house, so the landscape is not so cluttered with wires etc.
We arrived at the Amish View Inn a little later and very weary, but a wine and pizza soon fixed that.
What a fabulous retreat in a very peaceful environment.

A very nice place to stay. Good night!
