Around Philly...

I think Philly has to be one of the most diverse, random and interesting cities out there!

We decided we needed to start documenting the cool and interesting sights around town. Unfortunatly, we usually forget our camera, but we're going to try to do better at recording the interesting sights we find!

There are cool murals everywhere--on buildings, bridges, overpasses, walls...we love it! The fuzzy one is actually really cool, although it's hard to tell at 40 mph...it says "Peace."

We also love the statues everywhere. There are tons! This is a statue of a Native American Healer. There's not much information on the statue, it's just sitting quietly on the corner. I'm always stopping to read the historical signs that are on every block...even in our neighborhood. It's amazing to me to be somewhere with so much history. The west definitely seems more boring!

Click on this picture to see the building better. It's pretty interesting to look at, even if it does look like the setting from the book "Series of Unfortunate Events." I love the floating door on the third floor.

Double-click to enlarge this one too! These are really typical Philly row homes, that definitely have character...and they're pretty big too! (yes, my definition of large has certainly decreased!)

It is so fun to see what you guys are up to out there! It looks like such a cool place to be living. How is medical school and everything going? Dan is thinking of heading down that road. A little late start, but it's what he's always wanted to do. Any advice?
