Round Barn


We explored the countryside surrounding Gettysburg today. Beautiful, green rolling hills covered with orchards - apples, peaches & nectarines. We stopped at a farm market in this great old Round Barn. The best nectarine I've ever eaten! Didn't realize this area is the "Apple Capital of the World." Visited a local winery and had our picnic lunch at lovely Caledonia State Park along a bubbling stream. I bought the perfect T-shirt for me at the winery - black with a glass of red wine on the front and it says "Well - red." You can't buy beer and wine at a grocery store or convenience store in Pennsylvania. It has to be bought at a state approved store and they are kind of scarce. We happened to drive by one today and stopped to get some beer - come to find out, they can only sell it by the case. If you want a 6 pack, you have to buy it at a bar that sells beer and wine by the bottle or carton - maximum 2 six packs. Problem is how do you know which bars?! Easier to wait until we get to Maryland tomorrow!
