When in Rome, do as the Romans do...

... when in Pennsylvania, go to Groundhog's Day?



Okay, sure, why not?

It was all kind of fun. I went with three Allentown CouchSurfers - Jeremy, Daisy, and Jessica - and even though Jeremy got a ticket en route a good time was had by all. While there we met Katy and Frank, from nearby Pittsburgh and whole mess of groundhog enthusiasts. Further proof that there is intelligent life in your backyard.

Obligatory group picture at the Knob.


Warming up by the fire.



Posing with town statuary...


... and other things.
