Sigel to Scranton

There was snowfall last night which left the property looking lightly sprinkled with sugar!


Jeff and Samantha made eggs and bacon for breakfast... eggs from their neighbor, of course, and bacon from the neighbor's friend. It's really neat that they have completely eliminated processed foods from their diet, and I'm curious to try it myself... I don't know if I could live without cheese or bread or pasta, though!

We stopped at a small diary farm on our way through Pennsylvania.


We weren't really interested in anything they were selling, but Josh was interested in taking photos of the animals!


Josh and I toured the property by ourselves. After visiting the chickens, we went and saw the sheep... and realized that a chicken had followed us! She even forded the stream to visit the sheep.



As we walked back to the car, we saw all of the chickens making their way to the sheep! So cute.


We made it into Scranton in the late afternoon and met up with our host, Heather, at her apartment. Heather works for a non-profit organization that helps needy children, whether disabled or underprivileged. She figured we were in Scranton because of the TV show "The Office," which is set in Scranton (though filmed in California), but we actually stopped in Scranton because it just happened to be on our route. Apparently there's nothing else to do in Scranton other than things that relate to "The Office," so Heather took us to a restaurant that is mentioned on the show. We had a really, really delicious meal... the three of us split a strawberry salad; apparently Josh had never had a strawberry-walnut-bleu cheese salad before (I think it's a pretty common thing...) and he hasn't stopped talking about it! We also split a large pizza that was unlike any I've had before... the cheese was very unique, almost like an Alfredo sauce. Delicious!

After dinner, the three of us talked about our trip and Heather's trip to India and then headed to bed.

Our "ho" for the day is from Heather... she was hilariously boy-crazy. She couldn't tell a story without getting very distracted from some man walking by (and then talking about how attractive he was).. it was a little difficult to maintain conversation, but it was very funny!
