Fun day in Lititz [in Pennsylvania]...
... whose sister city is Kunvald [a village north of Žamberk in the Ústí nad Orlicí District, in the Pardubice Region in the Czech Republic] established on June 11, 2006. Lititz is also the home of the Wilbur Chocolate Company. Remember the Wilbur bud? Yum! Guess what I came home with? Yes, you guessed it, Wilbur buds
and, sigh, I could not resist acquiring this handmade fountain. Alas, the creator was not there to explain what inspired him to create this piece.
