I'm in Ribbonfin! Which is brilliant because green is one of my favourite colours and everyone's been so nice in helping me get settled in my cabin. I'm not entirely sure I know my way around yet since my orientation was a bit disorientating but at least I got to see a lot of the woods! I love that the forest here isn't forbidden. That does mean it's safe, right?

Oh and I have a question for my fellow trouts --

wait do we call each other trouts? That doesn't sound very flattering.

Yeah, just bigger. I bet the UK would fit into a lot of US states, which is kind of mindblowing.

I'm from Pennsylvania! Philadelphia, to be precise. It's the biggest city in the state, and there's a lot of history. It used to be the capital during the Revolutionary War and everything. We're right up in the North East.

It really is! But we pack a lot into the UK despite our small size!

I don't know any American history, sorry, but that sounds pretty exciting. Do they do any of those, um, historical reenactments of battles and things?

I can imagine. I want to travel Europe some day.

Well, a whole bunch of our history is linked to the Brits and that's where Philly comes in. We kinda protected the rebels for a long time. And yeah, the Civil War is more popular for reenactments, but you see Revolutionary War people too. Mostly because people adore George Washington.
