1/5/2011 Wednesday. We visited Hershey a few times in the 80s when Anne's brother Kenneth was a resident at the hospital. It is a very quiet town during the winter times. We circled the "town" in a few minutes and there were very few people out and about.
Dinner at Chocolate Avenue Grill while Ellie was at her interview. They had Greek specials which were quite reasonably priced. Food was okay, not great. The Days Inn at Hershey is one of the best in the chain I have seen.

1/6/2011 Thursday. After dropping Ellie off in the morning, we drove to Lancaster to meet up with someone from Hope International in Lancaster. Ellie gone done early so we rushed to Hershey to get her. She managed to fly out a few hours earlier (paying a $75 change fee) and wouldn't have to get in at 2 am in the morning (and leave at 7 am for her interview.)
Harrisburg Airport is quite modern, the old building which is not longer in use still looks pretty good. Interestingly we saw a United States 747 making touch-and-go landings at the airport. Wonder if it is the pilot practicing.

| Three Mile Island. It certainly made news in the 1970s. |

We then drove to Wayne, PA where we got a room at the Courtyard for $65 (plus fees). It snowed a bit overnight, but not too bad.
1/7/2011 Friday. The Barnes Foundation has an interesting history behind it, the upshot of which is it will relocate to Philadelphia in the near future. It does have an impressive collection of Cezanne and Renoir. I am glad we visited.

| Barnes Museum. They will soon relocate to Philadelphia. |
We made it back to NJ in good time for a meeting at church. An interesting trip, all things considered.
