      Wow, who would have thunk?!

      Thank you for sharing all of these interesting blogs. I enjoy reading them, even though places that you blog about aren’t close to where I live. Maybe I’ll get to visit a few of them if I ever get down to that neck of the wood.

        I bet there are some cool places near where you live- feel free to let me know about them and they could go on the map!

          Nope, nothing as cool as this Pagoda!

          Sure, we have up and coming wineries to the south of where I live. Then, there’s the biggest rock in North America that’s about 25 minutes west of here. Then, there are the Thousands Islands in the East.

          Maybe the problem is that I think of what we have here are quite standard and ordinary. Perhaps I need to find out if they’re that common or not. One example I can think of is the Martello towers along the waterfront in Kingston, Ontario. Unique? Yes. Cool? Meh.

      Oh, but I love this one. Now I’ll know what to do if I’m ever in Reading!

        Lizzie – it is a treat, for sure. I love the incongruous building type- much like our little Spanish Hacienda, it doesn’t quite fit in here in Pennsylvania, but that is what makes it so cool!

      Great pictures! I flew over the pagoda (in a WWII dive bomber) when I went to the MAAM WWII weekend this year, but we didn’t have time to go to the pagaoda or see the other sites of Reading. My mother kept urging us to go to a restaurant called The Castle, but we never made it.

        LP – I haven’t heard of The Castle, I’ll do some digging and see what I can find out- thanks for the tip.
        That must’ve been scary and fun at the same time to fly over it, but what a view! Thanks for stopping by!

        I bet you’re right – since I’m not from the area I’ve never heard of the Stoksay Castle, but now I have! Hope the new owners do well!
