Philly at Night

I love walking in Philly. At any time. So yesterday I offered to show a new student around since she'd never been in Philly.

"I love Philly," I told her. "I love walking there, and I know these great places!"

And because I didn't feel like driving, I suggested we take the high speed line. Which would have been perfectly fine, if the sidewalks had not been covered in two feet of snow. So that was an adventure.

And then, to my horror, I could not remember which subway stop to get off at. Or the cross street for the restaurant. I couldn't remember how to get to my favorite restaurant ever and I've been going there for almost eight years. (Eight! Years! So crazy.) I need to get back into the city more!

So then we walked to Penn's Landing.

"I definitely know where I'm going now," I told her. I didn't actually. Also, I hadn't counted on the sidewalks still being so snowy. It was epic. I deeply regretted wearing boots I had not yet waterproofed.

Philly is beautiful at night. I'm just not so keen on the winter part.
