I spent a fun-filled morning in Hershey Park, more so at the Chocolate World than the Park because I'm not much of a roller coaster fan, especially when I'm by myself. Still, had fun, almost bought a 20 dollar t-shirt, but thought better of it. I kind of wish I had bought a few things there so I could bring people souvenirs, but to be honest, I think it's a waste of money. Matt, I'll buy you a bunch of seeds when I get back (not pot), Belanger, I'll get you a couple of beers, God knows you and I both need them anyways. Everyone else, I'll think of something.
On to Gettsyburg. This place is amazing, as always, and they built a new Visitor Center since I've been there, back in 1998 I think. I decided it would be a good idea to hike the entire length of the national park, from point to point, which I did, taking a break at noon to get food. My feet have huge blisters on them, and I have awkward tan lines from trying to roll up my sleeves, but other than a throbbing pain in my feet, I had a blast!! R2D2 was kind enough to come along for the ride. I got a lot of calm, peaceful time to myself wherein I reflected on the magnitude of this battle, and it made me sad that so many people had to die in this war, many brothers or friends killing their brothers and friends. Civil wars are some of the hardest ones to heal over, even taking centuries to bury the past. I'm glad that we aren't ashamed of what our forefathers did, or why.
In summation, I'm about to shower, head out to Lancaster for some dinner, which will consist of some damned good barbecue. Speaking of food, I had a sausage biscuit this morning, with an apple and a peach, and for lunch I had a ham sandwich, with an apple and some canteloupe. Whatever works lol. Hope you enjoy the pics!!
