Everhart Travels

  Sunday, November 20, 2016 Our Visit to Jimmy Carter in Plains - Americus - and Callaway Gardens Lulu - Roslyn - Jimmy - Harry - Mount Rushmore Lulu and I decided we would make a holiday visit to Plains to see President Jimmy Carter teach Sunday School. He no longer teaches in his boyhood church in downtown Plains. About ½ mile north of town is a small country church where he regularly teaches the Sunday School lesson.  We arrived at our Americus Hotel at 3 PM Saturday - just in time to watch Florida State Seminoles beat Syracuse in the Carrier Dome. After that - we went to The Rylander Theatre just down the street - to see "Miracle on 34th Street." We got 4 row middle seats for $10 each. The Rylander is a really nice old theatre. The town of 17,000 is lucky to have it. After the show - we went right to bed - we had an early show on Sunday morning. We woke up in our Americus hotel called the Windsor. It was building 1892 and was completely restored in 2009. The rooms are aut...

 This was 6 years ago. It Christmas writers often loaf - and post some greatest hits.  We are spending Christmas in Washington DC with the family. Next stop is back home in Tamaqua for a few days. Lulu had to leave her Christmas tree behind - but I thought you would like to see her and some of her ornaments.  We hope to have a Merry Christmas - and the best New Year ever.  Here are some of Lulu's ornaments - and where she got them.  Disneyworld Athens, Greece Cocoa Beach, FL                 Sedona, AZ (gift from Drew and Keith who attended the Fiesta Bowl 1999 New Zealand Tamaqua Elementary Santa's Secret Shop 1985 Canada Cruise - Maine Gift from Ruthann Busolits - Bedford Springs is where Keith and Liz held their wedding.

This was the tower and main building on the base We are enjoying our two week stay in England. We started out with 4 days in Bologna visiting some friends doing a Fulbright visit there. Next we spent 4 days in Cambridge University where Lulu did a presentation about teaching in China. After that we took a fan bus trip to see a soccer game - in Wrexham Wales - where Lulu's team plays. It was a 4 hours bus ride there - then 4 hours back. We had great game seats right by the goal. Now we have a week in London just paling around. Today we were at the Royal Air Force Museum about 6 miles north of our hotel. Hendon Field during the war housed fighter planes that defended London against the Nazis. The city has grown up around it - and it now is a museum with a wonderful collection of planes. It is free. Most of the buildings are still intact.  Normally it is an easy subway ride - but the Northern line is closed until Friday. So we took a bus - which had 33 stops and took forever. We had t...
