The Battle (to see all) of Gettysburg

We got up early to arrange some touring today around Gettysburg. Our hotel has a "breakfast cottage"

rather than a room off the lobby where the usual breakfast foods are offered. Underneath it is a "haunted" pub.

Then we got an auto tour book, CD and smartphone app from the front desk and began our Battlefield tour. We did half today and will finish tomorrow.

We met some interesting characters at the battlefield sites. The town is gearing up for the annual re-enactment July 1-3 so lots of enthusiasts are in town and on the tour route.

After lunch we swam a little and did some laundry chores. Then it was time for a carriage tour through town, complete with a guitar player/singer who regaled us with Civil War era songs. We got some interesting information about the downtown homes and history. Then we walked back downtown to a great dinner at the Pub and Tavern ( http://www.the-pub.com/ ) in the heart of Gettysburg. It has a very pretty function room upstairs .

We strolled back to our hotel at twilight, enjoying the sights and checking out the shops and many ice cream shops. Sarah posed with Lincoln.

Sam hit the hot tub before we retired for the night.
Tomorrow we'll finish our auto tour of the battlefield and head for Valley Forge, and then on to Horsham PA and dinner with Amy's cousin. More pics tomorrow- Sarah is having trouble with the wi-fi and sending me her pictures.
