New Harmony

We have been settled In New Harmony, IN for a few days. We met a woman named Jane Owen, she was in her 90's and she was very nice, and she gave us a tour of the town. She showed us the roofless church, the grainery, a garden dedicaded to her husbends mother, And the second geological laboratory, all beautiful. Saturday had been the Fourth celebraton. We listened to the Declaration of Independance be read, choir song, and a great presentation by the current President of Southern Indiana University. After, we ventured out into a heavy rain for our ride in the golf cart parade through the town (we In our cycles). Next was a BBQ at the town park, a small but super nice crowd in the rain listening to a brass trio play festive music, ate burgers, fresh cobblers and ice cream.
I'll write some more ( of which there is lots), tonight.
Today is sunny, we camped In The town park, the birds are singing and we are back on the road a d into Illinois as soon as we eat, take down and pack up, and cross the Wabash River! 60 miles on the docket for today, and after two days essentially off cycles, we're ready!
