walking tour

Today was the Ghost of the Revolution Walking Tour. It was hot. But fun. Not really exercise. But Market Street from Main is one helluva hill.

I dropped Lydia, Sharon off at the Moravian Bookstore and went to look for parking. The tour started and stopped there.

The stories were typical of all ghost tours—lost love, dying soldiers and people still protecting their city. With the revolutionary war as the backdrop. We zig-zaged all thru downtown and God's Acre. Along the way I even learned a couple of things.

Brethren's House. Lyd in yellow, Sharon wearing the hat.
Our guide was a good story teller and dropped bunches of big names—Washington, Franklin, Handcock, Lafayette ....

At the end she asked if there was questions. I had one but didn't dare to ask. Why is a Moravian Tour Guide wearing jewelry? Especially jewelry typical to the late 19th-century? And lace?
