We toured the Winterthur property in the morning yesterday. The house has 94,000 square feet on 10,000 acres of land. The house tour was nice. Afterwards, we visited exhibits of china, etc. Danita found it more interesting than I did. After a trolley ride around the property, we ate our packed lunch on a bench near the Winterthur parking lot. After we finished lunch, we found a heated picnic building. We could have had the building to ourselves.

For our afternoon adventure, we visited the Delaware Art museum. I enjoyed the art for a while. I learned about the Pre-Raphaelite artists in England. They developed about the same time as the Impressionists in France. There was a way cool painting of Macbeth by Schoonover. Then I went to the café and enjoyed some coffee. Here’s a shot of their Chihuly Bridge.

At the end of the day, we took an hour ride on the Delaware & Western Railroad. It was fun. There were plenty of excited families. Many of the houses with back yards abutting the rail line put up elaborate light displays. Several residents came out to wave. Here’s a shot of our rail car.
