Philly final
Nov. 6th, 2011 09:25 pmAnother lovely day in Philadelphia!
I remembered to turn my alarm clock back, so I woke up when it said 7:30 am and it was 7:30 am! I made it downstairs for breakfast at 8:30 am, scrubbed and dressed and packed! The innkeeper offered us a special - pumpkin pancakes with glazed apples and walnuts, covered in apple butter syrup. I usually want eggs, but I could not resist! They were divine! I chatted with sisters from Scranton - a nurse who runs a home health care business and a dietitian. They told me about their Italian weekend in Philly - Italian food at Davio's and a trip to the Italian markets.
I sat in the parlor and read the news and facebook and so forth on my phone, chatting with various guests on their way in or out. I met my pal and walked with her to brunch. We went back to the Marathon on the Square place three blocks away, and were seated after a brief wait. I had a bacon and swiss omelette for lunch. I was not feeling very adventurous, so we went back to the B&B and sat in the parlor chatting and looking at an amazing book of photos of Philadelphia Then and Now published in 2002.
My ride appeared at 1:40 pm so we said our good-bye and took off North. It moved along much faster today. We made it to the Montvale service area in Northern NJ in 2.5 hrs rather than 3.5! We sailed on across the Tappan Zee at sunset... gorgeous! We stopped at Rein's Deli in Vernon, CT tat 6:30 pm to pick up Rueben sandwiches, herring in cream sauce, Dr. Brown's diet Black Cherry soda, sour cream coffee cake... yum. We made it home in 7 hours, including 2 stops. Wow. My driver and his wife told me that I am a very good passenger!
Great food, great weather, great company, great sights. Wow!
