    I'm kind of a fan of small cities, They tend to su I'm kind of a fan of small cities, They tend to surprise me. Johnstown Pennsylvania was just one of those towns. Sure, I was familiar with the Johnstown Flood of 1889 where over 2000 people perished in a matter of minutes. When I visited I expected to learn about these tragic events.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But I also learned about the resiliency of this small city. Today, it is a vibrant city full of street art and beautiful old architecture. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

    When it comes to US estates and gardens, the Nemou When it comes to US estates and gardens, the Nemours Estate in Delaware's Brandywine Valley is a breath of fresh air. Unlike many of the mansions of the time, Nemours is bright and airy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The home and gardens are all based on the esthetic of french design making it truly unique. I can't even convey how much I enjoyed my visit here. It's a little slice of Europe in the mid-Atlantic region. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Just two blocks from this location is the @512CoffeeandIceCream Café (512 Ligonier St). Stop by and pick up a Banana Split to go and walk to the statue and enjoy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

    Remembering our Veterans on Veteran's Day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Arlington Cemetary is the site of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The inability to identify the remains of some soldiers has always been a consequence of war. The Tomb of the Unknown honors all of them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On November 11, 1921, three unidentified (the Unknown) soldiers who had been returned from France, were carried through Washington, D.C.and across the Potomac by a horse-drawn caisson.  A state funeral ceremony was held at Arlington National Cemetery and the Unknowns were interred in the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To this day the tomb is guarded 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days of the year.  However, this year in honor of the 100th Anniversary the tomb is open to visitors. This is the first time in a century the public has had this opportunity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

    Have bike, will travel. This was the last stop on Have bike, will travel. This was the last stop on our bike ride to see the sites of Arlington. This was shot at Arlington Ridge Park. It takes a bit of work to get to the top of this hill but the view is outstanding. Disclaimer: it may have just felt like work because it was nearly 100-degrees with almost 100% humidity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
