Walk:Bike:Run

For my foundation computer class we were assigned to go on an adventure and experience something new.  I decided to take a day trip with my boyfriend and explore some of Philly. Growing up, I've always been exposed to Philadelphia, but I've never actually taken the time to walk around and see it. Our day started at 12 PM when we took the train to Suburban Station. From there we went to Love Park, which was my first time ever actually seeing it in person, and I snapped a few pictures and did a few sketches. Being at Love Park was probably the most relaxing experience i've ever had. There were so many different people, but every one was doing the same exact thing. Relaxing. There were kids playing in the fountain, old people falling asleep on benches, and of course couples getting their picture taken under the Love sign. We continued our walk through China Town. The smell of it made me hungry. I'm actually a little upset that I didn't come more prepared with money, because there was a ton of stuff that I would have liked to buy. I'll know better next time. I wasn't exactly sure where it was that we went next, but Tom ( my boyfriend ) told me that we were walking down Spring Garden, which is apparently still a part of China Town. Throughout the whole walk I kept taking pictures of graffiti. Graffiti was the one thing that kept catching my eye. There was a wall near Spring Garden where some of the best Graffiti artists got together and did pieces on. And from what I heard, it was legal. So, that's okay. The whole day was amazing, and I would honestly love to do it again. I've grown up outside of Philly my whole life, and I actually find it kind of sad that it took a school project to make me actually experience it.
