Dinner with Cynthia!

Cynthia took me to this fabulous Vietnamese restaurant, and we are every bite on our plates. Yum yum super yummy yum! Then she took me to a sweet shop where we had delicious coffee and green tea ice cream. And wonderful conversation. Great to see an old friend and catch up in everything. :)

Bill will be jealous

I'm being adventuresome today, thinking of my sweet hubby, wishing he were here to enjoy this with me.

City Hall

You can almost see the statue of William Penn at the top of City Hall - but not quite, I think I cut him off at the ankles. Need to re-take this shot with a real camera and not my phone. Also, it may not be obvious from the picture, but the architectural detail on this building is very ornate and complex.

Reading Terminal Market

This market is amazing - many different kinds of food - I had some fabulous barbecue. It had Greek, Indian, Middle Eastern, Chinese, Thai, and a bunch of other vendors I didn't even see. There were raw meat, raw fish, seafood, fruit, vegetable, multiple bakeries, and candy counters. Tons of people shoulder to shoulder. They also had a holiday display with an elaborate toy train system set up and running.






I had never seen brussel sprouts on the vine. The guy selling them said the flavor is so much better when they are steamed on the vine. I don't know about that, but it sure was interesting to look at.

Views of the city as we were driving in Saturday morning.






This is City Hall right in the middle of downtown. Our hotel is next to City Hall.

An actual pay phone

I thought there weren't any left, but there this one was outside the Burger King.

VA got some snow!

As we got further north, snow was on the side of the road, and on the sides if the north-facing slopes. Very, very pretty. We wondered if we'd see snow all the way to Philly, but we didn't, as it turned out.
