June 9th, 2010 In an attempt to get to know the United States a little better, I'm exploring each state, hopefully one a year, in order of when they became states. I'm looking into the folklore and environments exclusive to each state, and first up was, of course, if you know your U.S. history, Delaware! It was seriously a wonderful trip. I won't go into too much detail now because I'm using all the resaearchfor a huge state by state project that may never come to fruition. But so much fun just to see parts of this country I'd never otherwise see!
