I know, Waka. We do not have tsunamis, except in Hawaii. But both are

powerful natural forces. Have you ever seen a tsunami? When is their

season?

I am in West Virginia this weekend. West Virginia is a nine-hour drive

away from my home in Delaware. My parents live in West Virginia (WV).

 

My sister and I drove here to visit my parents. Last summer my mother

was very sick. My sister and I came to see that my parents were ok.

They are!

 

On the way to my parents' town (Huntington), my sister, Carol, and I

stopped in the town where we grew up (Clarksburg WV). We saw the houses

where we lived, the schools we attended and the main street of the

town. We tried to remember what stores were on the street when we lived

there. Many of the stores are gone. Some of the buildings are torn

down. We took very many pictures. We had the pictures developed in an

hour in Huntington. They we spent several hours showing our parents the

pictures and remembering the old places. It was fun!

 

This is what you can do outdoors in West Virginia:

The mountains are beautiful here. This state has great hunting and

fishing. Some very good winter ski resorts are in WV, too. There are

some great hand-made craft stores here, too.

 

This is some information about my hometown (Clarksburg, WV):
