Alan - my wife has been doing software work at the big Hospital in Hershey. She'll be going back next month - if the Pennsy train museum is close enough... I may go with her! Where is it in relation to Hershey?

Its all 8 miles east of Lancaster just south of Route 30. There is a village called Strasburg which is in the heart of Amish country. It has a tourist steam train which is reallly well done - minut round trip on 95 era carriages. Across the street is the museum with maybe 50 cars and engines under roof and as many outside waiting for restoration. Down the road is a Thomas the Tank Engine toy shop with the unhappiest toy selling man in thehistory of toy shops. I'll post some photos Friday when we are back up north.

Now chocolate is a national issue. No self respecting English boy would eat a Hershey. It is Cadbury's for us. But then I am told that the reverse is true also

I recall with great fondness driving in York towards the Victorian front of the now unproductive Cadbury's factory. My mom's kid sister aunt Janet in the late 60s lived with us and worked at the Neilson's factory in Toronto and brought back broken bars every Friday. I have been a Crispy Crunch man ever since. Hershey was a bit odd but the chocolate at the Smith Falls plant here in Eastern Ontario is really good. I am not even a big chocolate fan but was very impressed with the PA factory only product, Strawberry kisses which is white chocolate with strawberry cream. White chocolate is satanic according to herself so it is the only type I dare reach for without fear of teeth marks being left in my forearm.
