PENNSYLVANIA

Been to Pennsylvania for the first time - traveling the back roads for five days. Most puzzling so far was last nights dinner at an Amish culture house. Somehow energy conservation is on the forefront all the time: the ancient cableing, the enormous stand by consumption, the air cons, the freezers, the proportions of meals and drinks, the cornfields meant for making bioethanol, the cars and cars and cars - being part of all this silences me in a strange way - and then the nature: Pennsylvania Grand Canyon so overwhelmingly beautiful, and in the mountains, all of a sudden an area of the forrest that brought us back from summer to spring, with smell and all, and a grizzle bear was seen in the village where we slept last night - on a trail we walked just two hours earlier .. :-)
