Day 6: Gettysburg PA - Cooperstown, NY

It's all better. Silly me. I hope Mike tells you about all the interesting stuff (ask him to talk to you about confederacy pride). In short, though, it's been a wonderful day: we started with good coffee; the boys were exemplary; Mike did all the driving; I'd forgotten how beautiful Cooperstown is; we have a huge apartment to spread out in for the next four days; we had a fantastic dinner; the laundry is done. I'm going to bed.
