Our Last Farewell, Goodbye

Goodbye to America, more specifically the east coast, more specifically Pennsylvania, more specifically Lancaster County, and most specifically Ephrata.  You will be missed.

Ephrata.  At The Crossing of Main and State

 Night time in Ephrata.  Goodnight. Goodbye.

I will be on a plane at this time tomorrow night.  I will be in the process of getting on that plane for the first half of the day.  The next time I will be posting will be when I am settled in my Northern Ireland apartment. 

Keep The Past Present

Day Three.
I've only got one photo.  I fear that more than one a day might not be too common.  But that's ok.  My plan was at least one...

I rode my bike to work today.  Not a normal occurrence.  Sadly.  I could definitely use the exercise.
It's not a bad ride, about 20 minutes, so I'm going to attempt to do so much more frequently.
I passed a bridge on the way to work.  A bridge I pass all the time.  I had my camera with me in hopes of finding my daily photo on my way to or from work, so I rode onto the bridge looking over the river for something interesting.
Instead of seeing something running on the banks or floating through the water, I came face to face with a plaque that I never before saw.  Apparently the bridge is considered a historic site.  So says Lancaster County.  Need proof? ...

 

Historic Bridge

There are at least 52 Historic Preservation Trust Sites in Lancaster County.  I learned this today on my bike ride.  I would have guessed maybe 20.  And I have an unfair advantage...My wife worked at the Historical Society Library right here in Lancaster County.
