Day 27: Spelunking and Hershey with a side note of Day 26

Gads! How could I forget! We took an Amish buggy ride yesterday! It was a fantastic way to learn about an entirely different culture. We learned that there is a lot more wiggle room for the niceties of life then was presented in the movies. There are cell phones and TV watching vacations. Less farming and more internet sales. Solar panels and generators. Milking machines and hired cars. It was truly eye opening. We talked to an age gap of 40 years or so and saw the differing perspectives of each. No photos were taken out of respect.
Anyways…  Day 27!
We left to go to the Indian Echo Caverns to spelunk but first we made a quick stop at Three Mile Island.

Part of the plant is still an active power source

Indian Echo Caverns were opened as a tourist spot in 1929 although they were likely used by the Susquehannock while they occupied the area.

Then it was time for lunch. A local diner with some delicious Greek food, which apparently is super common.

My Spanikopita – too big to finish – oh so delicious

After lunch we went to visit Chocolate World which was so commercialized it was disappointing.

They got along so well
