Here are some pictures from my trip. There are no pictures of my friend because he was embarrassed to be showcased in this blog. Whatever.
My friend who I stayed with does not live in the city, but rather about a 15 minute train ride outside. His building is right next to this fabulous suburban strip mall, replete with a Borders, a Bed Bath & Beyond, an Old Navy, a pretty good bagel place, a pretty good diner, a U.S. Post Office, etc.
This is from inside a grocery store, also right across the street. I almost had a panic attack when I was shopping for treats -- so big and so few people! Open space! Ahhhh!!!
I got these tacos on South 9th Street below Washington Avenue. These were the best tacos I have ever had. Yum!

Isn't this a pretty street? I thought so, too! Oh, you don't think it's pretty? Well screw you, then.

This is the City Hall. Um, that's it.

This is the new Comcast building. Um, I think that's also it.

This was taken at the UPenn campus. Sadly, I can't think of anything else to say about this, either.
This Boston Market was about a 3 minute walk from the UPenn campus. I wonder if this is the closest Boston Market to an Ivy League school. If so, UPenn should automatically be rated number 1 according to U.S. News & World Report.
