Philadelphia, but no skydiving……

Posted on Jul 30, 2007

So, we visited Philly and had a great time, but my skydiving was called off thanks to the horrible weather today – I’m pretty disappointed but that’s the way the cookie crumbles I guess. We did the Rocky steps of course (see picture below – and yes, the cheezy pose is mandatory) as well as the Art Museum that is apparently located in the same place (Jenny thought it would be bad not to). We passed on the Liberty Bell because the line was ridiculous and just had a wander around City Hall and Love Park instead.

I think Philly gets a thumbs up overall, it certainly has more of a proper city feel than DC, and the food we had was fantastic. Alma De Cuba cannot be recommended highly enough – the food, presentation and service were all top notch and it was only a couple hundred yards from the Sofitel we were staying at, which I can also recommend as a place to stay. The dessert picture below is of their signature “Chocolate Cigar” – absolutely yummy. I think to cheer myself up for missing skydiving I will go watch a summer blockbuster for a couple of hours…..
