Ramblings of a retiree in France
USA: holiday photo no 2
As part of our US trip we’re spending a few days enjoying the museums and gardens of Philadelphia, followed by those of Washington DC.
We spent our first day enjoying temperatures of 35C wandering the historic areas of Philadelphia and enjoying its architectural delights.
We’re away for 3 weeks and consequently I’ll post photos each day as I won’t have time to blog.

Ah, it is a goal of mine to move back to the Philly suburbs once I retire, for now, I’m stuck in the cultural desert that is the SouthEastern part of the US.

Lived in Philly briefly for a semester and it was a good experience. Glad you’re enjoying it, the historic nature of it and all.
I suppose if you were coming to Austin, Texas you’d have let me know, or maybe not. I suspect you’re wise enough to not come to the south in summer. Then again I forget where you’re in France and maybe it gets plenty hot there.
Just watch out for that deadly bird we have too much of in ‘merikuh… flying bullets. Bon voyage!

We’ve moved on from Philly via Washington DC to the Jersey Shore. You’re right, if I were visiting Austin, I would’ve let you know. Weather’s been fairly similar to that we’d have enjoyed at home.

Cool I was there once, nice area. Hownfun would UT be fir you to connect with other bloggers?
Kate in NY who biked through France. She may have moved home to UK. Others like A Midnight Ruder in Mass. but he was just in the Netherlands. And so on.
That would be a dream — to do a world tour. And of course blog about it. Maybe even a book. Also Strava users.
