Philly for Phun!

I'm working this week in Philly. This is a challenging union city. Lots of rules and special things to remember. I will survive...

Fun? Yes, i'm eating at the Reading Market every day. This is where the Amish Pennsylvania Dutch sell their delicious pies. I bought a Blackberry Pie my first day here and have been shaving off pieces, rationing till it's gone.

(note the ripples in my water sitting on the desk. this was through the thump in the floor.)

More Fun? Well yes it's possible. i had a College Graduation Party in the ballroom directly under my sleeping room. At 8pm the DJ kicked off and my room started vibrating. Thump, Thump, Thump... Boom Boom, Boom! i called the front desk and was told they didnt have another room to move me to. The vibrations got worse and worse with silverware clattering. Pictures on the wall click - clack and rattle. You could feel the pulsing bass beat in your body and everything in the room bouncing. Security came and told me they were sorry. I'm sure everyone on my hallway was calling to complain. It finally stopped at exactly midnight. good thing i didnt have to get up till 5am.

gotta run now. tomorrow is another long day.
