FALL IN LOVE WITH THE HEARTLAND - Each autumn, nature takes out her
paintbrush and splashes vibrant colors across the land, white church steeples poking up amidst
the splendor. Look deeper and you will find more than just fall foliage in all its glory; towns
come alive with the bounty of the harvest and a generosity of spirit reflected in the unabashed
smiles of the locals who greet you in every port.
