I can really relate to this topic..
I love to go to Philadelphia on a Friday, do the museums all day , then hit the weirdo clubs at night.
I love Swallow Falls in Western MD, Reading,PA has a beautiful pagoda( but it's a h*** of a hike to get there).
Winchester, Va, the whole area is good for winos(like myself) , south of there you will find a big teepee, Minnetonka mocs and exquisite turquois jewelry, tons of blankets( if you are in the the exploitation of the native peoples).
I am a firm believer that when the going gets tough, this chick hits the road for long drive. There's nothing like it to clear your head, and sometimes you gotta move to keep yourself grounded. Who want's to hop in the car with me now!! I am motivated!
