Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania....

Earlier in the month we went to a village named Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania.  We had a glorious time there....rode the train (and they allowed doggies!), went bicycling along the river, ate Mexican food and befriended the owner (who is from the state of Puebla, Mexico).  We saw the beautiful Asa Packer Mansion (museum) and learned its history.  We saw the stunningly beautiful St. Mark's Episcopal Church which was built out of a mountain and has some of the largest collections of Tiffany stained glass in the world.

This is one of those "times" where photos speak louder than words, so I'll present photos and websites of this great place (hey!  we don't have a "Shimla" here, but this is 2nd best!).  Firstly, here is Wikepedia's version:      http://www.jimthorpe.org/

And here are some photos from our trip:
