October, 11, 2011. Thulani arrived in our home in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA to meet Kaitlyn, 13 and Mitchel, 5. Harrisburg is the Capital of Pennsylvania and has the Susquehanna River running next to it separating, what we call the West Shore from the East Shore. The Susquehanna River is 464 miles long and is the longest river on the East Coast that drains into the Atlantic Ocean. Harrisburg is located only 14 miles West of Hershey, PA. Hershey is known for its Hershey Chocolate Bar and Hershey Kisses. It is popularly called "Chocolatetown, USA." Hershey is also referred to as "The Sweetest Place on Earth."
Some of the places Thulani will visit while with us are Baltimore, Maryland, where he will get to ride on a real Fire Truck (with Kaitlyn and Mitchel's dad), Philadelphia, PA the largest city in PA which was founded by William Penn and has many historic facts. This is where the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776 and the Constitution of the USA on September 17, 1787. Also a very fun and exciting place Thulani will get to visit is Disney World in Orlando, Florida! And then if time permits a day in New York City! He will be very tired by this point and ready to go onto his next adventure I am sure! J
