Philadelphia...Finally!!

Finally arrived in Philly after a 6 hour drive and one 30 mile detour. We went east when we should have gone south. Then, in order to get back to our planned route, we had to use a 2 lane highway which cut through some very scenic parts of Pennsylvania.

The route yesterday from Toronto to Niagara Falls was also a pain due to bumper to bumper traffic from Oakville all the way to the border!

On arrival: I walk up to the front desk and ask the receptionist (a young Black guy), "How come there are so many Black people holding doors and pushing vacuums?" A smile and a look that said, "Now you know I can't talk about that here."

Very hot here...must be close to thirty...but the room is nice.
