Went to the Atomic Bomb Museum when the Navy provided an all expenses paid trip to Nagasaki. It was a very interesting museum. They had a section of fencing with a soldier's SHADOW burned onto it!

Don't need a GPS for that one. It's a few towns away from Chez Vreihen, under the I-84 bridge over the Delaware river. Access is through a cemetery in Port Jervis (NY), but I've never been there.

More interesting is the nearby High Point Monument, which marks the highest point in New Jersey and is visible from the above NJ/NY/PA marker (and NJ-23 is an awesome twisty driving road from the border up to the monument):

Already answered but I want to add what a special memory it was for my wife and me to visit Hiroshima. The museum and Peace Memorial Park were highlights on our visit to Japan. While in the park, we were approached by a group of Japanese school children, maybe 6 of them, with their teacher or chaperone sort of hiding behind a tree. They wanted to know where we were from and if we would talk to them about what peace means to us. They were so nervous practicing their English on us. They were so grateful that we spent time with them. At the end of our conversation they each said thank you and gave us origami as a gift. I love traveling.

I'd love to spend a few nights there with a good book, wine and no cell phone.

Darn, I knew that I should have trademarked it!

The question is can the owner of that building drive into their kitchen to unload groceries from the trunk of their car?????

I think they use delivery trucks, and the bottom floor, for kitchen deliveries of a much larger quantity than you are thinking The steak (NY strip, med-rare) was excellent!
