First Day, Maybe Second




Well, I made it to PA, finally. When I went to pick up the rental car, the lady waived the underage fee (200+ dollars) because I talked to her about buying foreclosed homes. Don't ask, and I sure as hell ain't telling. I set off on my first solo flight, and it was a doozie. I spent some time in NC, and as a result, did not have adequate rest to complete the journey and was forced to stop at some random rest area not 10 miles down the road. But I am certainly not complaining...AT ALL. :) I slept for about an hour, and woke up and have stayed up until now, and I'm going to pass out shortly.

I went to Green Dragon to secure their famous soft pretzel which I'll spend countless hours trying to run off, but also ate some scrambled eggs, thick sliced bacon, and surprisingly, biscuits, there for my breakfast. Lunch was an affair of fruits and vegetables, while dinner was supplied by none other than Isaac's delicious delicatessen. Traffic was a bitch around D.C. and Baltimore, but no other issues so far.

Reading has been a blast from the past, going to the Pagoda, along Skyline Drive to the Fire Tower, through the parks, up to school. It's been a tremendous walk down memory lane and I'm glad to say I've lived here...minus the idiotic drivers. Hopefully these pictures illuminate my day. Love you reader.

Pre-Road Trip

I'm not too sure on whether or not I'll be updating this, but hopefully I'll be able to get online daily to upload pictures and experiences. The plan is this: Head to PA to visit Philadelphia, "City of Brotherly Love", continue to Reading where I spent five mysterious years of my life. After Reading, I'll be going to Hershey, then Gettysburg. On the way back down, I will stop in D.C. and see my brother, sister, and their son, my nephew. It'll be the first time I go by myself anywhere for such an extended period of time, but I'm hoping that with no one around me, I can be free to think and not inhibit myself for the sake of others.
