Jim Thorpe, PA

While in the Poconos we went to a small village called Jim Thorpe. The town is known as the Switzerland of America - and who better to visit than a bunch of Swissy's!

The town used to be called Mauch Chunk, after the mountain there, but in the 1930's changed its name to Jim Thorpe, after a gold-medal olympist, to bring in more tourism.

It truly was beautiful, the highlight of the trip. Small windy streets and lanes, beautuful row homes in an array of colors, quaint cafe's and antique shops, oh yeah - and mountains!!

I'd love to go back there and stay in a B&B, I recommend it!
