Today we took a spin on back roads south of our campground in a search for more old, architecturally stunning buildings and we were amply rewarded. The number of magnificent old buildings in this part of Pennsylvania is staggering and little searching is required to find treasures.
On the way, Peggy found a place called the Meadows, housed in a building that looked like a 1950s drive-in. They served frozen custard, something those of us in the west don’t see much of, and frozen yogurt and something called Italian Ices. Peggy got a medium frozen custard which turned out to be three generous scoops on a sugar cone. I can’t imagine what a large must look like. I had a chocolate shake and I do not know whether they used yogurt or custard but it was very tasty.
We continued into Abbottstown, another old Pennsylvania town with magnificent old buildings. They must have had a couple generations of superb architects around here and they left a wonderful legacy.
We made an effort to get onto single lane back roads and we ended up spotting many terrific houses and farms. Check out the blog pictures from July 6th, 7th and 9th to get an idea how many gorgeous places there are here.
