Illin'

For the past 2 weeks I have been sick as a dog! I got very sick, and then we had to leave for a trip to Philadelphia. The trip was great minus the extreme illness... Philadelphia is one of the places that really makes me proud to be an American. The architecture and the beautiful monuments are just some of the many appeals of Philly. Every building project commissioned there has to put aside 1% of the total cost to put toward art. That has caused the whole city to be filled with artwork that brightens and beautifies everything there. Despite being so sick, I still tried to go along with all the plans we had to tour the city. We did a segway tour, which was definitely the best tour. I love segwaying, but when you are coughing and freezing cold and oddly motion sick, it's not very pleasant. The trip was an overall success and I actually found a city that I like. I can't wait to make a return visit in better weather.
