Philadelphia, Shiladelphia


After my first day with Jossie ended (our Amish adventure, see below), we dedicated the next to Philadelphia itself, aka Center City. We greeted the day with some Swedish sugar waffles--scrumdidliumptious! And a walk along the river, which took us directly to the Philadelphia art museum aka the stage of Rocky Balboa's triumphant step run. This called for many photos, in attempts to capture a believable run along his same path. Once satisfied with what we got, we walked on through the rest of the city. I got to see the skyline up close, Love Park, Reading Terminal Market, as well as Independance Hall and the Liberty Bell. We finished the day with a great dinner at a diner, and a cozy night at Jossie's Apartment.

Rittenhouse Square, where Jossie lives in Philadelphia. The lights at night were gorgeous, and I hope for Jossie's sake they stay up throughout the year!










Jossie in her cute little studio apartment! which looks just like an expanded version of her dorm room last year.
