Historic Langhorne




Today I went to the historic section of Langhorne which is just a few miles from Newtown. It's nice quiet place with friendly people. After I parked my car and started walking I saw an older guy wearing a barber's smock standing in front of an old barber shop that had a spinning barber pole. He nodded and said hello, I walked around and took a few pictures then came back to get a haircut. The Barber shop is called Buddy's Barber shop and the guy that said hello was Buddy a really nice guy. Buddy had a customer but his apprentice(whose name I can't remember) cut my hair. During the the haircut they both welcomed me to the area and gave suggestions for things to do. Buddy invited me to watch the annual memorial day parade from his shop. Later I met another couple who were hanging potted flowers along the street and they gave me directions to a revolutionary war burial ground and told me that the local coffee shop was a makeshift hospital during the revolution.

Houses

Newtown has hundreds of these beautiful old houses, I wonder how long it will take for me to find my favorite one. They're fun to look at but I bet they are a lot of work to keep up.
I have a free day tomorrow, and the weather is supposed to be nice. Maybe I'll take the train to NYC.
I've heard from several people that summers here are brutally humid. I've spent summers in Mississippi, Texas and even the Philippines, so how bad can Newtown be?
The winters should be interesting too for these California kids. So stay tuned. :-)
