Going north!

In spite of those suspicious white things in the air and piles of it in places on the ground, it's good to be going north. And Pennsylvania is one of the BEST places to stop, especially if your Uncle Jules (isn't that a great name?!) and some cousins happen to live around Allentown.

All over the south we looked for sources for fresh food. You would think with the weather as mild as it is, there would be farmer's markets everywhere. While we did find some citrus stands, no where did we find a farmer's market. We had to come all the way back north to Allentown for that. While it is winter and not much is growing, they still have a wonderful market with several butchers, fresh fish, homemade sausages, pickles, locally grown mushrooms, homemade pretzels & dogs in blankets (photo), homemade potato chips & veggie chips, nuts, dried fruit, locally roasted coffee, and several fresh veggie vendors. It makes a heart (and a stomach) feel good! So we loaded up in anticipation of the last leg of our journey and home.

Will Rambo start this morning????
