Song Little boxes by Des and Dawn
Before we left Cherry hill, I went to do the laundry. This campsite has it sorted. The Laundry is next to the cafe, so I could sit and have breakfast while I waited for the machines to do their thing. Now I am spoilt for life.
We had to go via Rockville to fetch David’s bike, and I could see he was itching to ride again, so we decided to do a short drive and stay overnight in Gettysburg.
The scenery was interesting. Ranging from the little houses in Rockville that all looked the same to large country manors in lush green fields. As always, there were churches and the usual yards full of scrap.
Soon we were in apple country and made a stop at a farm stall where they have delicious cider slushies and exciting homemade goodies. We stocked up. As soon as we had checked in at the KOA in Gettysburg, a lovely campground, David was off. He had a wonderful time riding around the battlefields.
I stayed at home and tried to sort through photos. I think I prefer the days when you had 24 or at a push 36 photos on a reel for the entire holiday, not over-countable for every event.
When David returned, he made a fire and we had a quiet braai, listening to golden oldies.
Chuckle of the day: David’s chagrin about our neighbors fireplace versus ours
What I learnt: Too much choice complicates life. The more choices you have, the more decisions you need to make. Things were easier when you did not have to make so many decisions – which photos to keep, which campsite to stay at…. I am not complaining as I know these are 1st world problems and I am lucky to have them. Just observing. At least I know to always take “the road less travelled”.
