Week In Philadelphia

Here is a short video compilation of our week in Philadelphia. We always have a grand time.

"Clarence" drives me up from my home in southern Delaware, over two hours away.  I meet Pat at the Barnes and Nobel book store after he has taken an overnight bus trip from his home in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Thus we began another wonderful week in Philly, staying in the guest suite of our friend Don McK's cooperative at 21st and Chestnut Streets, right in the heart of the vibrant center city Philadelphia life.

For this trip Pat rented a car and we took a drive out to visit my brother in Downingtown which included a visit to my old (tiny) bedroom at the family home where my brother now lives. Then we got on the Pennsylvania Turnpike and drove out to Hershey Pennsylvania to visit the antique car museum.  

The rest of our all too short week in Philly, we patronized some of our favorite restaurants like the Marathon Grill (both of them), Hip Veg City, Green Eggs Cafe (Pat loves their scrambled tofu) and the Cheesecake Factory.  On every trip we visit a new restaurant (or two). This time we went to an authentic South Philadelphia Italian restaurant called Ralph's Italian Restaurant. When we were there we discovered Ralph's is the oldest Italian restaurant in the United States. This restaurant has been patronized by such celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and yes, even Taylor Swift. By the way, we had a fabulous Italian meal.  

I also took time to help our friend buy a new iPhone and help him with any questions he had about his iMac. 

Pat and I visit Philly twice a year, once in the spring and another time in the winter. We love Philly. I'm going to try and talk Pat into visiting more often next year. Time is getting short. 

On my ride back I had a new driver, "Maria" with her girlfriend "Sunshine."  My regular driver was with his family for Christmas in Virginia. 

Nest trip, sunny Palm Springs in February. We're living the dreams folks. I'm so glad I can relieve these memories via these video compilations. I love taking the videos and pictures and creating them.  Enjoy!



Enjoy!
