On another beautiful day, we retraced our Sept. 17'th route at a more leisurely pace. Our main objective was to attend a performance of "My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish and I Am Still in Therapy" at the Bristol Riverside Theater. We first stop was in charming New Hope, PA where our route met the Delaware River. We would like to return and see more. We then stopped at the Bowman's Hill tower which provides a spectacular view of the river. This is one of the major tourist attractions in the area. The major historic site along today's route is aptly named Washington Crossing. This is the location where George Washington made his winter crossing of the Delaware on the way to his victory in Trenton, NJ. There is a large collection of colonial style buildings and a visitor's center which you can see on the map and sideshow. We next arrived in Bristol and had time for a walk through the beautiful park and a nice lunch. We then attended a matinee performance of the play, which turned out to be a hilarious one man show.
