Walk, Ride, Adventure


On Labor day I decided to adventure through Philly, and it was a successful journey. On my way to meet up with my navigator, Katie, I was approached by a gang of segway-riding McDonald's promoters. They offered me coupons for free food and I gladly accepted. I met up with Katie and the adventure started. We got off the subway right under city hall. We circumvented city hall searching for the source of the soprano sax we were hearing. We found the musician, he was playing in the middle of city hall, the acoustics amplified his music so that the whole building could hear him. We then set off to find the love sculpture. We found it and we were disappointed. I knew it wasn't some giant monument that most people think it is, but it was still a let down. We decided to adventure to Rittenhouse Square and do some sketches. Again we were serenaded by a lone musician, this time it was a trumpeter. About and hour after we started sketching we heard another musical group, we decided to find them and continued our escapade. The group of musicians turned out to be a family band just jamming. It was mostly a brass and percussion ensemble, and they attracted a big crowd. We agreed the day was done, get on the train and went home.
