I made a brief stop at an ATM for cash as there would be tolls along the route. I was down to my last three dollars of cash and wanted to make sure I had plenty of cash.
I stopped for breakfast in Conshohocken, PA at a place called Andy's Diner just after 10 am. There I was served up a great breakfast by a smiling waitress named Kathy O. Eggs, toast, Canadian bacon and hash browns, $6.10. They also had senior specials for as little as $1.99.
From Conshohocken, PA to New Hope, PA was a short 28 miles and it was around 10:45 when I was back on the road. I would be arriving sooner than expected. I hit a rain shower just 10 miles from my destination, the first rain I had this entire trip so far. I arrived at 11:30 am.
Marlene showed me some of the local sites which included where George Washington crossed the Delaware River. The town is appropriately named Washington's Crossing. Shown below is a replica boat and the rapidly flowing river.

Marlene and I had dinner at Martine's Riverhouse in New Hope, PA. We chatted up old times, filled in one another of childhood stories and found we had a remarkably similar life path. The restaurant served up a great menu and overlooked the Delaware River. Marlene has a well received blog www.wife2widow2single.blogspot.com. The blog has been published into a book that can be found on Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/Wife-Widow-Single-journey-widowhood/dp/1490993797/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1401453085&sr=1-1-fkmr2&keywords=marlene+brown+widow
Overall 178 miles and a little over 5 hours.
