Gettysburg

We spent a large part of today in Gettysburg looking for copies of Lincoln's address and "avoiding the FBI".  The treasure hunt put on by Lincoln's Lost Treasure was great fun.  Yesterday we received a call to ensure we knew the meeting place and to be sure that we understood that we needed to "tell no one, and be sure no one is following".  We started the day meeting with a british woman, ran into a russian spy and eventually . . . well, I can't tell you, if I did I would have to kill you.

It was a great way to spend a couple of hours exploring the downtown area of Gettysburg and we met interesting people in our group as well.  When Natasha, the russian spy, informed James that he should be married already at 18, we informed her that we were waiting for Lindsay (11 years old, from Texas) to be two years older.   She agreed that this was reasonable.


We have to move on from Pennsylvania tomorrow, but it has been an interesting experience.  We are heading a little more south in the hopes that it will get warmer as we move west.
