Exploring: Finding stuff near you...that you didn't know was there

The other day I had to go to a Japanese Traditional House for a Project. I did not know we even had one till my mom was all, "Yeah the internet told me!" I love her and her googling sometimes. <3 It was relevant to my interests. (I always loved studying Asian cultures and NO it was before I got into anime, I'm not some weird okatu .-. lol)

We went down to the city (with an ANNOYING as hell GPS voice thanks Dad. GPS FAIL) and I really saw some things I never 'saw' before down in Philly. One of these days I gotta go back there are some cool things there...

The Japanese House was absolutely beautiful. I always associate my city with overcrowded-ness and busy highways that give me a bit of anxiety to think about driving on. You can see some photos HERE!

What are some places you found around you that were totally awesome?

Well it sucks... cause my town is really small so I know everything around here and in the county and surrounding areas. :/

I'm kind of in Kody's situation, but I will go around and explore my friends' back yards and stuff like that. Sometimes me and Pickles (my brother) will just randomly adventure, hop in the car and go drive and get lost. It's fun

I love exploring and adventuring.

Even have a hat, so dubbed my 'adventuring hat'.

Apparently the Underground Railroad came through my town, but I didn't know of an old house to it, still standing, that was mostly hidden behind a candy store, until they tore up the lot next to it to put in apartments.

x3 Yeah it's fun to take a ride and go somewhere. Where I live there are a lot of historic sites lots of stuff happened here in history, so there are some neat spots. Brandywine Battle Field for instance lulz I totally ate lunch there with my day campers where people probably shot at each other many many years ago. XDD

I live in a historic town, too. If you drive downtown, the park there is the sight of one of the Lincoln vs. Douglas debates.

X3 That's interesting. I gotta come to IL someday.

It's really a nice place. Nothing too pretty nature-wise, no mountains or waterfalls or anything, but the city is nice
