berkeley springs and harper's ferry

10/26/2003 -- a new camera!

after years of faithful service, the agfa camera finally died. at least, i assume it's dead. even with new batteries, it won't turn on. it may only be sleeping, awaiting the day it will rise and avenge its abandonment. in the meantime, anyway, i bought this fancy new canon, and it arrived just in time for a trip to west virginia.

when glenn was there before, he made the mistake of going to the new bathhouse.

and through this door.

(you can read the historical marker about berkeley springs in the full-sized photo. the museum is on the top floor of this building, but unfortunately was not open when we were there.)

comfy-cozy!

(this was a first test of the camera's timer. i'll try framing the shot before clicking the button next time.)

(four other photos censored, but emailed to leebert.)

we came back through harper's ferry, and ate again at the hilltop house, which looks closer to falling into the valley with each passing year.

glenn looks in vain for a rocking chair.

the other side of the building; we had our brunch at the second window on the main floor.
