HELLO PHILLY, HELLO 2012.


One of my visions for 2012 is to post something here every week.
So far I'm 4 weeks behind.  But I'm attempting to catch up.  

New Year's weekend meant Philadelphia, PA for me.  
Here are a few moments from it:

Pictured:
Breakfast Bomb @ Honey's (a full out omelet wrapped in a pancake).
Baklavah, Baba Ghannouj and Turkish coffee @ Manakeesh.
Lots of strolling around and exploring with sort-of new and very new friends.
Desserts on The Continental rooftop for the fancy segment of New Year's Eve.
The Art Museum for a dollar (you pick the price...first Sunday of the Month).

Other amazing places to try, that didn't make it into the photos:
Cafe Lift: went on a brunch date here! Every detail was amazing. Outstanding coffee!
Local 44: the ladies' neighborhood go-to. Tried Great Divide Hibernation Old Ale and split a burger with an egg on it.  Amazing.
Dock Street: Funky brewery.  Great beet and goat cheese salad.  Everyone else loves the pizza.

There isn't a short story that can sum up the joy and refreshment this trip was for me, so I won't attempt to tell one.


NEW ROUTE.

From a new prayer walk route I had started back in December:
