rick and i got out of dodge,
and high-tailed to philly.
i had been looking forward
to this for some time,
to see king tut exhibition,
univ of penn
with their outstanding
archeology and anthroplogy museum
have cheez steaks
see where it *all* happened
over two hundred years ago.
we ate great
we saw lots of stuff,
even took an hour long
carriage ride thruout the old city
rittenhouse park and society hill
but best part was
the view
from our hotel window
up on the 22nd floor!
(i kid you not,
we had nothing to do with it)
we looked down at an old cathedral
with the rest of the city
sprawling behind it
it was a most
inspiring sight
but it was hard for me,
i was all wobbley
unsteady on my feet.
we walked and walked
till i could walk no more
hence the carriage ride
and plenty of taxis
it was nice to be away
all snuggled up
in our king sized bed.
the sheets were cool
against our skin
bodies intertwined
what a great adventure
it turned out to be
we laughed a lot
saw lots of fun things,
both on the road less travelled,
which we prefer
and the ones where all the tourists
seemed to be.
it was all good!

E! Good to see you are still going forward with head up. You remain a vibrant thinker. Yes, my birthdate is June 22. It does follow you, like 454 follows me. I am 1/4 Yeniche Gypsy from my grandmother on mom's side. You are on it.
