So today we went driving around with our realtor to find a place to rent. She showed us three different places. One was a house in the country that we had seen pictures of earlier that she had sent to us. We saw a small house in town, and a condo that was near the entrance to one of the prisons. Ummm, thanks but no?! We put in our application for the house in the country. The realtor whispered to us "you do understand that farmers use manure, right?" We laughed. And then explained more about where we were from. hahahahaha.
We did learn a few interesting things about PA. 1. Milk prices are regulated. If you want to buy a gallon of milk, its the same price at the grocery store as it is at the gas station. So that is nice. 2. You can't buy beer or liquor at the grocery store, or the gas station. You can only buy beer at the beer store, and liquor at a liquor store. That is another thing they control. 3. Truck drivers don't drive 55 on the freeway. They can do the same speed limit as everyone else. That is not fun at night having big trucks passing you on the freeway. Yuck!
There is snow on the ground, but it rained some today, and its supposed to be sunny the rest of the time we are here. We were told all of the snow will probably melt away by the time we leave.
We did a quick walk through one of the bigger grocery stores this evening. We were able to find salsa, avocado's, tortilla's, and they even have tri-tip at times. So we will be okay! haha
Hopefully tomorrow it will be sunny and Julie can take some nice photo's around the area and can post them on the blog. Hope everyone is doing well. We will be back to Cali on Thurs!
