krista janae speaking:
well our second week in PA has gone. and i am just in love with pennsylvania. it is sooo beautiful here. and soo green. a vibrant green. every single green field we drive past i just stare at in awe. even if it is field that hasn't been well kept and filled with weeds, it is still beautiful. and there are just many, many rolling hills. two of my favorite things: green fields and rolling hills. i may just have to convince my family to move out here. :)
and occasionally, we have seen Amish people slowly making their way down the busy streets with their horses and buggies!!
this past week we have been staying out in the countryside of Lancaster with the Siegrist family. hannah siegrist is one of our friends from YWAM Kona and she is one of eleven children. yep, you read that right...eleven. it has been such a joy to get to know this family. there are 5 boys and 6 girls. oldest is 31 and youngest is 8. it also has been a joy to just hang out with hannah and connect with her again.
last wednesday, hannah, kayla and i drove over to philadelphia. we met up with one of my friends from my DTS, Maura who i haven't seen in almost three years!!! so i was super excited to see her and reconnect with her. plus she now has a hubby and a very cute baby, micaiah lee. we were in the heart of the city and it for surely won my heart. it felt like a smaller version of new york city. one of our favorite places there (although we didn’t go to too many places) was called Reading Terminal. it is a indoor market that has every type of food you can imagine. we found some really good tasting Pad Thai and for a very good price. we also found a place that is famous for their pumpple cake, which is an apple and pumpkin pie baked inside a vanilla and chocolate cake and covered with vanilla buttercream. one slice of this cake contains 1,800 calories!! but sadly we didn’t get to try it as it was sold out for the day when we were there. we didn’t have too much time to explore the city as we hoped but that just means we have to go back again sometime.
this past weekend we went to salem, massachusetts with the harrisburg DTS. in the next blog we will talk about our amazing time there...
