All of these shots are from my time in graduate school in 2007. After my friend, Sally, and I wandered around Manhattan, I took her to experience all of Philadelphia's great highlights. I'm so behind on posts, but when thinking of New York and Philly's historic sites, I often think back of my treks with Sally and couldn't help but post some old photos.
We made a pitstop at Bryant Park for lunch.
And, then visited The Met for some culture.
Serendipity - we loved it there!
Sally and I shared the signature FRRROZEN Hot Chocolate - yum!
I was super excited to show Sally, who originally hails from Idaho, "my city" - Philadelphia! We literally walked around the majority of the city from South Street, where we enjoyed pizza to the Delaware River waterfront and through Center City all the way to Love Park. We even - on a separate trip - ventured over to Camden for a Riversharks game and a trip to Adventure Aquarium!
The Philly skyline while the Comcast building was still being built.

The "nation's oldest residential street" dates back to the 18th century.

Sally took most of these photos...some of which I have blown up in the past because they are so great!
Thanks Sally!
