Apparently I love me some cities of love! Turned out I had a three day weekend this past weekend, which meant, time to head to Philadelphia to visit two wonderful wonderful friends: the best of my high school and college days! Though it was a rainy weekend, it was a weekend that was unarguably and completely perfect. I hopped on a Megabus on Thursday night, and 3 hours later I was pulling up behind the station (because they don't believe in actually dropping you *at* the station) of the lovely Philadelphia. And then Friday morning came morning. Friday, the best day of all days. Why?
That's why! (The friend, not the giant macaroni noodle) What began as a lost wander to Broad St. to have the movie-moment reunion on the street with the one and only Mary Simms (which we did have- middle of the sidewalk, passerbys irrelevant and unimportant) culminated in a day of wandering, catching up, and simply enjoying each other's company, and of course, would any reunion be complete without a coffee at a local coffee shop? No! No amount of coldness or rain could keep that day from being absolutely perfect!
And then Saturday we got up bright and early to have a final cup of coffee before Mary got back to her normal routine. I headed back to my friend, David's, apartment and we headed out to see the UPENN campus (where he currently is attending med school). We also went ice skating: I fell right on my sorry butt, and remembered in a quick moment why it is that I haven't gone skating in about 8 years- because I don't enjoy it at all. But I enjoyed the company. Sunday morning I hopped back on a bus and headed back to DC.
And now here we are- refreshed, renewed, and ready to dive head-first into Christmas preparations.
Hope the Christmas season is as wonderful for you as it is for me!
