Fairfield Pennsylvania to Bethany Beach, Delaware

Today was boring but last night was pretty cool.  I had this 10,000 sq. foot old B & B, built in 1757 all to myself.   The building creaked and snapped a lot.  I'm surprised I wasn't scared.

I did have something happen that I can't explain.  In the 1700s and 1800s, they had a wishing well in the courtyard.  Sometime in the 1800s they added a tavern, eliminating the courtyard and the wishing well.  Since then, people have stuck pennies anywhere and everywhere.  There are pennies stuck in every nook and cranny and on every shelf.  Any place you can put a coin.  They even have them stuck in the rock walls.  I picked one up and looked at it and it was dated 1962.  A coin collector would be in heaven.

I was sitting in the Eisenhower Dining room on my computer for two hours.  About an hour in, I let out a huge belch.  I know... not real attractive but when you're alone, all bets are off.  As soon as I let loose, a penny came flying at me from the wall about 6 feet away.  This did freak me out a bit so I was forced to have a glass of wine.  I apologized for my unladylike behavior and no more coins were hurled at me.  Nothing further happened last night.

Tonight I am staying at the Addy Sea B & B in Bethany Beach, Delaware.  It's right on the Atlantic Ocean and there are 3 other couples staying here.  I got 50% off because the "season" doesn't start until tomorrow.   I'll wait until midnight and creep around after everyone is asleep.  Tomorrow I am heading for Virginia.  Greensboro, NC is as far South that I will travel before heading back up to Boston.
