This trip was taken with the Lefrak Senior Center. It was not as organized as L & M or Crosby but it was still interesting. We visited Strasburg, PA and rode a train from Strasburg to Paradise. We ate lunch as the train traveled from one place to the next. The ride was about 45 minutes. Along the way, we got to see the beautiful countryside. We passed The Cherry Crest Farm with its famous corn maze. Across the street from the Strasburg Railroad is the Railroad Museum. We visited the gift shop at Hershey Farm Restaurant & Inn and then headed to Kitchen Kettle. While there, we visited the People's Place Quilt Museum. Incredible quilts are on display and for sale! Most of the day was H to the third power - Hot, Humid and Hazy. The sun did come out after a while, making the day even hotter. It was a great day for a train ride. |

| Elton asked, "How many times will you photograph this view?" I replied, "As often as there is a difference in the view." This can be seen from Kitchen Kettle. |
