Liberty Bell.

The one and only Pat’s!

Yum. \240Just the original!

On caution, parking space is at a premium. \240The smaller the car, the better your luck. \240

Across the intersection is Geno’s, which claims to have the best!

Inside the courtroom!

George Washington’ chair. \240Note the rising sun on the top.

Inside the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia.

This place is amazing, it is a cornucopia of food vendors. \240You can have Breakfast, lunch, and dinner 7 days a week and not get through it all. \240And also desserts!

Our morning commute! \240Née Tour!

This was a non-farming Amish couple. \240The husband is a wood craftsman/carpenter/contractor. \240His wife Rebecca served us some meadow tea. \240Very delicious and some “fiber” balls again very good.

The meadow tea is made from brewing mostly fresh spearmint leaves and a few peppermint leaves and lightly sweetened with monk fruit extract an a little sugar.

I respectfully asked if we could take a picture of her, Rebecca said we could, but preferred not.

The fiber balls on the left and homemade preserves on the right.

The buggy garage was very nice. \240The hot rod is on the right. \240Disc brakes and air cushions instead of springs.

With LED Lights, the batteries powering the lights come from a battery pack found on tools like DeWalt. \240They have adapted to solar power to recharge them.

Wash day! \240But what the view!

Our tour leader exclaimed that the flags were all flying today, as we saw many places with the laundries out. \240

A covered bridge that was a part of the tour!

Shoofly Pie.

The had the best soft pretzels here.

Mr Pushy

Mr Pushy was very aggressive to get the snacks, so while Jean tried to feed others, Mr Pushy pushed the others away. \240I had to help.

The Buggy garage.

The farm!

My info-screen

Nearly at 85% capacity and cost will be around $12.50. \240So far that is my cost so far on the trip of around 230 miles. About 15 minutes of time. \240Could go into the nearby gas station if you wanted anything, or like I did, sat in the car and entered in notes a photos for you to read.

At 30 mpg, gas would have cost me $30.00.

So far I will say there is a bit of a learning curve driving a Tesla. For one thing there is no coasting, the regenerative braking system engages as soon as you let off on the throttle. You have to ease up on the throttle if you wish to slow down slowly.

There are multiple sensors on the vehicle to help you of your surroundings. \240There is a Green light sensor that alerts you to a light change. \240The adaptive speed control, once set will automatically adjust the speed of your car to the traffic in front of you. \240I did not attempt the auto-pilot setting! \240Multiple cameras were extremely helpful especially with moving from one lane to another, and turning.

All controls and information are located on a center council screen, which takes some getting used to using. \240I downloaded the Tesla control app to my phone which made many of the controls easier to use, especially once you leave the vehicle. \240Lock or unlocking for example. \240

The navigation system is fantastic and easy to use. \240I could plan out a trip on my phone and send it to the car, so it is ready once we get in.

A very comfortable ride with good seats and ample leg room.

I had the Beefteki, and Jean had a chicken Gyro. \240Both were delicious.
