Super cold out, even witht he sunshine, but we took a daytime walk over to the Spheres to get a banana.  We were graced with some awesome chalk work on the stairwell.

Yep, back home.

In Philly there were not tents, strung out homeless, and the few we did see where very cordial.  Portland was nice too.

Is just Seattle this bad?!?

Home again, looking at the historic buildings on 3rd Avenue.  The line for Moore Theater wraps around the block, and mostly females.  So glad I had an extra day of PTO, was a bit aimless today.

Independence Hall, when Philadelphia was the capital.  A table for each of the 13 colonies, a sun chair for President Washington.

“I have often looked at that [chair] behind the president without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting. But now I… know that it is a rising…sun.” – Benjamin Franklin

Murals, museums, and tiny tiny alleys.  Love the brownstones, bring on the brick!

The Philadelphia Museum of Art has all of their most famous works in one circular room.  Several Van Gogh's.  A Monet.  And I totally remember studying this painting in Art History in high school.  It is Telouse-Lautrec, At the Moulin Rouge, late 1800's.

No fooling, I loved this library mural we found on our South Philly art walk.  Seems fitting, too, since we spent a lot of our down time reading.

It was fun seeing the liberty bell, riding the Hop On Hop Off bus and learning more about Isaiah Zagar.
