SIGHTSEEING AND MORE

Ruth and I spent the next two days sightseeing in the Big Apple, before moving, by train, to our honeymoon location, Mountain Lake House, in the Pennsylvania Pocono Mountains.

The Pocono Resorts billed themselves as honeymoon havens and our choice certainly lived up to those claims. We swam, played tennis, hiked, ate, and ate some more. As a result, we arrived home somewhat heftier than before.

While at M.L.H., we met a couple celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary, and we became instant friends. Mike and Sarah lived in Brooklyn, near his place of employment, the Bush Terminals, where Mike was the general manager of an olive-packing company.

At the end of the week, we went back to NYC for more sightseeing and an evening with Mike and Sarah, where we enjoyed a delicious Italian-style dinner.

At the end of the second week, it was time to go home, to return to reality of back to the job and planning our future. The job was important, for we arrived home with about $5.00 cash. So the need for funds was basic.

The next Monday, I headed for work, a difficult adjustment after two weeks of having fun. On the agenda were house-hunting, furnishings and the like. Busy! Busy! Busy!

More, later.
