Hi Philly! Today we woke up early and took off towards Philly at 9 AM. We ended up parking near the East Falls train station and taking the ten minute ride, instead of attempting to find decent parking in the city. The city was interesting. There was such a huge blend of people in the area aka prime people watching. We walked around for an hour then took a lunch break at a really nice Italian restaurant. We continued walking around for a few more hours. There is a lot to see in the city. Historical landmarks are everywhere. It was about 90 degrees with 50% humidity so we were worn out after a few hours of city walking. We stopped at the LOVE statue and took a picture, looked at the Rocky steps from a distance, and took off towards the train station. We rode back, jumped in the car and drove to the King of Prussia mall... which is ginormous. We walked to each side of the mall, which apparently spans a mile (?). We overheard a group discussing the length from one side to the other... after walking to each side and wondering why it had taken us a solid 15 minutes. After the mall, we drove back to Maryann's home away from home and stopped to talk to Steve about the downfall of America. Interesting. Anyway, we're all exhausted now... which is expected after these kinds of adventures :)
P.S. I skipped about 95% of the details (like how we almost thought the train station didn't exist and the low rider caddy with the hugeeee rims or the street vendors that we bought MJ memorial t-shirts from or the horse and buggies that drive next to the cars and our fear that a horse could get hit by a car) but I'll fill them eventually.
