 A first event of the week... a visit to Bushkill Falls... a "tourist trap"?? |
 Where are we heading in this walkway? |
 Ah... here we are... the first of many waterfalls... this seems like a GREAT "tourist trap" |
 Looking DOWN the waterfall |
 Lots of wood walkways and stairs... fascinating |
 Some of the walks are a bit intimidating, being on the SIDE OF A CLIFF! |
 There aren't a lot of these in Jordan |
 Firas and Marna |
 Another view - framed in the woods |
 Like a "Bridge over Troubled Waters" (taken soon after my little "SUPERMAN" slip... without the actual flying part) |
 The troubled waters turning into another waterfalls |
 Another falls |
 Yet another falls |
 LOTS of falls in this place |
 Joan "taking charge" as we leave the pathway |
 No... step THERE! |
 But what should "I" do? (No... Joan wasn't really bossing us around... but the caption sure looked funny to me) |
 Hmmm... not an impressive flow here... but pretty woods |
 Yup... I love my new mom |
 Come on THIS way, mom and dad... c'mon! |
 The "romance" shot at "Bridal Veil Falls" |
 I must say... I like this shot of Firas... sort of a "Care-Free" look |
 Whoa!! "Care-Free" Firas is caught by a... BEAR!!! |
 Oooooo... my head... after all that "falling" (actually, I don't know what Joan is doing the with Banana-grams game) |
 A trip to Jim Thorpe... renamed for the famous multi-sport athlete... and we find our selves in the MIDDLE OF A PARADE... |
 ...a parade, complete with a fire truck... we actually had to pull the car out of the way to let the parade go by |
 Jim Thorpe... nicely preserved |
 Up the street in Jim Thorpe |
 The bushes are in bloom |
 Backyard garden |
 This street almost seems like the bottom of a creek bed, turned into a street |
 Actually, the creak runs UNDER the street and the houses... here, it emerges briefly |
 ... and heads back underground. We ate a a restaurant where the stream flows through... we saw and heard it from our table |
 More of the street |
 The rennovation continues... a very pleasant place |
 The gang up ahead (Joan, Marna and Firas... Peder and Kirsten were with us somplace too) |
 Kind of the same |
 The street was actually rather busy... locals talking, moving about, being busy |
 A final shot of the town, Jim Thorpe... note that I have NO photos of the wild raft trip we took the next day. |
 The beach of our resort area |
 Peder and Kirsten walking across the largest boulder field of its kind... about ten feet deep of this stuff with streams below |
 Joan says, "I think I'll try this too!" |
 "Well, I guess I'll let them go on their own" |
 Coming on back from being WAY OUT there |
 Aw... cute |
 Joan and I visited a local park with a water fall... and the trail disappeared... we had to bushwhack |
 I was so impressed... Joan is climbing a very steep incline in freestyle fashion... through the thickets |
 Ah... made it up to here! |
 A shot NOT related to the trip... Joan and Firas are "arguing" about WHO should sit in back when leaving a restaurant |
