philly from a double-decker bus

One of the many things that makes my little sister adorable is that she thinks we both love to travel. We do, just in different ways. A few weeks ago, she wanted to spend a few hours introducing Rocio the historically-significant city of Philadelphia by... taking a bus tour. Though not really my thing, it was cool to get a different perspective of the city as opposed to those from my previous strolls.
(We de-boarded near Rittenhouse Square to lunch at Devon Seafood Grill.)
Yet for as completely unique as her and I are, we're also very much the same. I miss her so much now that she's in a small beach city near Alicante! She may only be in Spain for 26 days at this point, but I leave a mere 36 hours after she comes back to the United States; obviously I cried following our goodbye last week. Thank goodness for Skype.

  3. @foreignpavement: I was! And what a pretty town you live in :) we had a great time. Thanks!

    @Ginny: Thank you! Me neither, until my sister told me we were going on one. I think it's getting to be a pretty popular tourist activity in most cities now.
