Gettysburg.

9-17-19 GETTYSBURG, PA: We drove down this morning for a battlefield tour tomorrow. The trip was marred by a nasty road closure on I-78 that delayed us for two hours. We still got here in enough time to explore the town from our B&B, The Brick House Inn. It has two buildings with bullet holes in the exterior brick from the war. The décor is a mix of colonial/Victorian.

The town is full of souvenir shops, war relic shops, T-shirt shops, bars and restaurants, B&B's, hotels, motels and lots of period buildings all of them museums of some sort related to the Civil War and Battle of Gettysburg. The town certainly maximizes its historical background. We did find a Starbucks just in time after walking around on a hot, sunny afternoon. I didn’t realize that the town had been occupied by the Confederate army before the battle.

We are off to dinner at the 1776 Dobbin House Tavern. War update tomorrow.
