More vacation stuff ...
While in Philadelphia, we also:
-- Visited the teeming Reading Terminal Market and had a really good cheese steak at Rick's Philly Steaks (hmmm, wonder why my recent cholesterol readings came in so high ...).
-- Went to a fantastic tapas place, Amada. It was beautiful and had great food -- one great nibble after another: grilled scallops, pork chops stuffed with cheese, etc., etc. (hmmm, why is my cholesterol so high?).
-- Walked around the old part of town and took Jay to see the Liberty Bell in its relatively new center. The bell is now placed in such a way that, when you look at it, you're also looking at Independence Hall, where the bell once hung -- and rang. It gives it meaning.
We had a great time. Later in the week, we drove out to Long Island to see my brother, Jeremy, and my mom, who live in Suffolk County (Long Island consists of two counties: Nassau County, which is closer to New York City, and Suffolk). We had a good time, eating out, visiting a nature preserve and just generally hanging out. It was good to see both of them.
Anyway, that's our vacation. Hope this was not TOO boring a tale!
