Day 200, Monday, July 19


After we visited Hershey Hotel and Lancaster, PA, we decided to go to Gettysburg. We arrived at the visitor's center 15 minutes before closing. We bought the self guided tour book/cd and started out across town to begin the auto tour. It is a very awe inspiring drive that takes about 2 1/2 hours to complete. We decided to "hurry" and see as much as we could, because we were running out of light. This picture is at the Gettysburg Soldiers National Cemetary. This is where President Lincoln gave the Gettsburg address. The entire address is engraved in the side where Jim is standing. We are planning to listen to the rest of the CD on our trip home.
