Small Town to Big City....Philadelphia!

It's always hard to say good bye to family, but we left Warren, PA today. We flew from Erie to Cleveland together, then I headed to Philly, while Warren headed back to Alaska. Seemed strange to fly west to Cleveland to get to Philadelphia!
I spent the afternoon wandering around the historical district of the city. Independence Park was a beautiful place to just sit and enjoy the beautiful weather. I still can't believe how warm and green it is this late in the season. Isn't October supposed to be,well.....autumn???? It feels like summer around here! I thought about riding the Metro to get around, but opted for walking......surprised, Roxane??






After wandering around the Atkin Nelson Museum, I decided to have a bite to eat, so I found a nice little Italian restaurant called La Scala, on the corner of Chestnut and 7th. It's been a long time since I've been in this big city, so it's a little overwhelming! I'm looking forward to meeting up with my friend Karen to do some more exploring!
