Came home
We got an urgent phone call this morning from one of my Husband's clients so, we headed home right after, from our Hotel room. I guess they have had nothing but rain and wind all day. I started going on about how I was looking forward in enjoying the balcony tonight with some supper/a couple drinks after the show and she told me not worry, for the weather has been just terrible all day. It was the first time we had stayed there in the Bush House Hotel & Schnitzel's Tavern. It must have been something back in the day with a ballroom, parlors, intricate woodwork and tilework all through this immense building. A balcony area was on the second floor off of our room to look out onto their lovely park complete with a river and many ducks roaming about, lol...gotta love ducks.

-Talleyrand ParkBeautiful and serene are words used to describe Talleyrand Park. Its location along the stream makes it the perfect spot for picnics, concerts, or just relaxing to the soothing sound of water. The large trout are a popular attraction as are the numerous ducks who make their home in the park. During the summer months, you can enjoy the "Concerts in the Park" series, offered on Sunday evenings and sponsored by the Bellefonte Historic and Cultural Association.While in the park, be sure to cross the two bridges to get to the Sculpture Garden. There you'll find a bronze casting of the head of Abraham Lincoln, sculpted by George GrayBarnard in 1916.Also plan on visiting the Governor's Memorial bordering High Street. This memorial honors the seven men with ties to Bellefonte who served as Governors - five of Pennsylvania and two of other states.-
I wish I would have had my digital to enable me to snap up images for you. I am very intrigued with the shoppes and garages built over that river next to where we were staying. Loads of stone work, iron fences, landscape wonders and restorations make for an extremely period entrenched experience around the hill top town of, Bellefonte.
