OK - so it’s late and I should really be asleep so we can get up for the bus tomorrow (8:30 - EEK!) but here’s a quick post from Allentown, PA.
We got the train to Philly and were picked up by uncle Chris Butler with a boot (or trunk - the rear compartment of the car let’s say) full of wine. Good man!
We spent four days here in total and in that time we got to go out to a marching band concert, a high school football game, Alice’s school play and (perhaps most importantly?) curry. Uncle Chris also took me to the local beer emporium called “Beer Heaven” where we found some St Peter’s Ale - the beer we had at Nick’s wedding. Rather nice it is too!
It’s a shame that we can’t stay longer, but we’ve booked a stay in DC and they won’t give us our money back if we cancel… Dig, Chris, Wills and Alice have made us feel very welcome here and we really must add them to our “pay them back when we get a chance” list. It’s been great to spend a few days kicking back and being thoroughly lazy - especially after the whirlwind of activity that was Boston.
Anyway, must get to bed - we’re up in 7 hours - but a quick, but nonetheless heartfelt online thanks to the - especially Bart the dog who had to share his room with us! We don’t mind his snoring if he doesn’t mind ours.
