Day Thirty-Four: Carlisle/ Gettysburg, PA

Today we drove 35mintues from hotel into Gettysburg to spend the day.

We didn't make to the reenactment portion but we did get to walk around to all the little stores and meet some interesting people.





Found lots of interesting out about the battle. Like there was only one civilian shot. July 3rd, 1863 there was a whole museum dedicated to her and her fiancĂ© (a soldier who died 3 days before her).

There was also this building that was all photos of the soldiers. This was both sad and happy. You could actually purchase pictures that didn't have names or anything they were just old time photographs preserved in a card holder.

 
 
Walt and I walked around on the Battlefield before it got to hot out.
 
 
TTFN,
