ETYMOLOGY OF PERAMBULARE


Originally the Latin perambulatus, a past participle of perambulare, came from per- through and ambulare- to walk in 1568.  

Now, we use the word perambulate, which means to walk or travel through or around an area, especially for pleasure or in a leisurely way.  Perambulare has also been known for distinguishing what historical walks are by officially asserting and recording boundaries.

Rockport

We moved to Rockport, Pennsylvania in 1987 and Lehigh Gorge State Park was our backyard.  It is a picturesque Pocono postcard scene around every corner and I am thankful to have experienced living there.  This picture not only shows the natural beauty that surroundsthat area, but also represents the countless hikes and adventures my brother and I experienced over the years.  I'm pretty sure that all of my friends/family that have visited me in Rockport have been on one of these infamous hikes.  I'll never forget the time I went to the lookout by the big waterfall and saw a bald eagle soaring below along the Lehigh River--it's wingspan seemed to spread the entire width of the river.  I cannot describe how cool it was seeing these incredible views as a youngster for the first time.  I felt like Lewis and Clark discovering new territory.
