Day 29: Deep in the Forest of Valley Forge


Right now I reside near the very top of a "mountain" (anything with enough elevation to cause a broken leg if dropped from the peak is considered a mountain in Houston. Seriously, you can step on a water cooler and see the entire city) in Valley Forge Pennsylvania. This is where Washington moved his troops during the revolutionary war for the winter to get them ready to fight the British who had over taken Philadelphia, about 30 miles to the east.

I am staying with my cousin's Godparents who have been exceptionally welcoming. Every night (its been 3 now) they have fixed me breakfast lunch and dinner with dessert. In return I provided them with my exceptional raking ability as well as some useless gardening tips.

Tomorrow I think I am going to be heading back to DC with my cousin whom is seeing his girlfriend. Speaking of DC, it was cherry blossom season when I went last week and much of the city was covered by all these beautiful blossoms.

Below is my first attempt at one of those articles that I promised I would write.
