The U.S. election 2020 was a great relief.
The morning of Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020, was a big day. A big day to express our right to vote for the US president. This was the first time in my life to vote. I became a US citizen in 2017 when Trump was presiding over the country with his ego, arrogance, and self-love. A man who was a great businessman but illiterate, ignorant, and uneducated. A selfish man who has more love for power and money than any other thing in the world.

Mount Kittatinny and Mount Minci via Appalachian Trail
Last Saturday, we went to Mount Kittatinny and Mount Minci via the Appalachian Trail. Overall it is a decent hike for about 10 miles round trip.

Right after walking on a bumpy, wavy trail going through the forest for about a mile, you…

Tumbling Falls Trail in Poconos!!!
I am very excited to share that we went to Poconos in Pennsylvania this past Saturday and, it was lots of adventure. We had a great day. We woke up early.

SUNFISH POND TRAIL:
<OVERVIEW OF hiking as a family> Last weekend we were planning to touch the Sunfish Pond via the Farview trail. Everyone was very excited, but we woke up a little late, had our breakfast, and left home around 9:30 in the morning. We knew that we were late and, mentally, we were ready in case we needed to change our plan for the hiking trail. It was due to limited parking spots. And as expected, we got lots of traffic on the way. We reached the parking around 11:30 and, there were no parking spots left for us, the latecomers. No worries, we thought. We already had a backup plan,…
