Did you know that the capital of Pennsylvania is Harrisburg? You do now! As I began my journey back to Wisconsin, I stopped for the night in Camp Hill, PA (a superb of Harrisburg) to visit a good friend of mine, Brenda and her daughter, Heather. Phil and I met them on our tour of Ireland, almost one year ago to the day. It was most fitting that we stopped at Ceoltas Irish Pub in Harrisburg and sipped on some cider and Guinness. However, the evening was far from over. Little did I know of the feast that awaited. Some great cheeses and nuts, a fantastic lemon-pesto shrimp on the Barbie, oven baked garlic, sage & fig chicken with an apricot sauce, roasted asparagus and mushrooms, a harvest salad with all kinds of good stuff including a nice blu cheese, and several bottles of great wine. For dinner we were joined by Sue and her delicious pumpkin roll, Heather, Nate (Brenda’s son), and Heather’s boyfriend, Chuck.
I had met Sue, along with Brenda, in March in Mexico when they flew in for a golfing adventure. The adventure was getting to/from Casa Pablo! Lots of laughs, after the first day. Thanks Brenda for the wonderful hospitality, great food, superb wine, and company.
