Shopping a new store, again

Day 261
Elverson PA

My feet hurt. The Saucony shoes I had picked up a month ago just aren't cutting it. After some phone calls and ancestral searching it turns out bad feet runs in my dad's family. Genetics decided it would be funny to make my heels hurt from walking more than a few miles. The only brand of shoes I've ever found where I can walk a dozen miles without a problem is New balance. We plan out a shopping day for some shoes and grocery stock up. Did you read that right? We have to plan how to shop. Every 3 days or so the scenery out the window changes and everything is new again. Set the GPS and take me to a shoe store Shirley.

Nope. That is not a shoe store. Scouring the map for a town with shopping snaps out my traveling instincts. Find things on the map that are in the green spaces and do a couple of quick google checks to see if where we are going has anything worth seeing. Standing on top of Mt. Penn is a seven story Japanese pagoda that was built in 1908. The whole point was to lure tourists up here to spend some hard earned money to look over the town. The project fell through and a local couple purchased the land and building. They in turn sold it to the city of Reading for $1.

Looking out over the city puts Eastern Pennsylvania into perspective. Flat land doesn't exist out here. Rolling green hills fill up the landscape. We go back down the hill and do our shopping. I don't find any shoes that I like, (on clearance), and we wrap up the grocery shopping and head home. Once home we unload the grocery haul and both start working on getting packed up for tomorrow. It's going to be a big day. We are driving into the NYC metro area. I take an extra precaution and take the motorcycle off the RV and put it on the back of the Jeep. This should let me make tighter turns through the city. Guess we'll see how it goes. Another move to a new city with tons of unknown. It's frustrating. It's exciting, It's scary.... it's life on the road.
