New Hope.. Its a beautiful town in Pennsylvania. It is situated right beside the border between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Cross the bridge in the picture, and you're back in Jersey.
This town is like stuck in time. The houses are centuries old from the looks of it. Its like you're driving along the highway.. surrounded by forests. One turn and you find this small town smack in the middle of no where. Apparently it is in the middle of somewhere, cause bikers swarm this town. I've never seen so many Harleys in one place. You got man riding, women riding, chicks riding, even neneks riding a big bike.
Its a historical site non the less. One of the first rail roads in Pennsylvania were built in New Hope. Guess thats why they call it New Hope. New hope to get outta town.. hehehe. The old steamer in the picture.. still runs. Went for a ride in it. And to have a taste of history, costs you USD14. A scam thats what it is.. 20 minutes ride to see a whole lotta woods.. and some nice houses in the middle of the jungle.
I got lucky that day. There was some outdoor art festival. People were swarming the streets. People here pays a s**t load of money for artworks. I saw one painting.. looks like it was drawn by a 12 year old and it costs USD300. Man I can make a living here.. :P
Another thing is the people here have elephant skins.. and i do mean thick!!. The weather was freezing cold.. like chill to the bone cold.. and they were out with shorts and light tops. I was wearing a windbreaker.. and yet I'm still shivering cold.
Last point.. to show that this is a rich country.. the fire department officers drive a Hummer. A bunch of show-offs. The best government rides back home.. are Nissan X-Trails and Rextons hahahhaah.
Back to New Hope.. Its a cool place to visit. Another "A" in the visit list. Till then....
