Roosta's Guestbook

U.S. History
Thanks for writing from a historical perspective. Love your blogs, the story of change.

Bucks County
Dave lived in Bucks county for 3 months last year. Wish we had read this blog a year ago. I would have enjoyed seeing Mercer Castle. Thanks for sharing.

I've enjoyed reading about your travels around the mid Atlantic...
and thanks for going back to 2009. I look forward to your filling the gaps since then.

Close to heaven
Booking the massage in advance shows what a wise man you are! America has so many wonderful off the beaten path locations. When we retire we plan on doing a cross country trip by not using any major interstates. That should be a blast. Love those family owned restaurants and laughed at your description of shoo-fly- pie.

U.S. Rafting
Ive done the Gauley and the New Rivers in West Virginia. Looks like you found some great rapids to increase your heart rate. Good times.

Art and Museums
Glad to hear you had a good time exploring.

White water
Really pleased you took the plunge Ezra. Some things you have to. Reminds me of attempting to canoe a river in flood. Little pool to enter, down a metre drop, immediately going sideways, thrown out, Denise and I like torpedoes for the next 200 metres before we could slow down to get our canoe back. The strangest thing is we went over rocks like in a hovercraft...missing overhanging branches...just. I could feel you sliding down those natural waterslides...and isn't it insane...because of the speeding way water cushions you...it's probably hard to get injured.

PA
I'm thrilled that you are blogging about past trips. You are a wonderful story teller. I love our state roads in America with all the off the beaten towns. Love the memorial on the Lincoln Highway and the mural on the barn.

This was such an interesting read, Ezra. Especially considering recent events, it's an interesting psychological insight into how we mourn, memorialize and pay our respects. A shame that the area with all it's personal touches has been redeveloped, though I confess I'm curious how the new "memorial" will compare to what you have captured here. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing
I too love waterfalls. How spectacular these are and as you say, a beautiful bittersweet sight. Very beautifully written blog I could hear the rush and gurgle and spray of the waterfalls as I read it. Thank you!
