What a wonderful day with Richard and Linda, friends of the family. They came up to visit us for the day. We took them to the Union Canal Tunnel, actually initially envisioned by William Penn and later surveyed by George Washington. It was built to transport goods from Philadelphia to Harrisburg, the soon-to-be new settlement. Amazingly the sight of the tunnel is 300-ish feet above both the Philly side and the Harrisburg side, and therefore required over 105 locks. Amazing. It was a lovely day for a boat ride too. Everett had a ball singing on the way home. We video-ed that too! Enjoy.
