I took the EL from 5th
Tomorrow 4 Broad Street Run
Street to 11th St. and from there I bought my Trans-pass. I also rented a car rather than using the Car Share
since it's going to end up the same after all the hour or add it up at the weekend break. I'm sitting at
Pano Side Effects
Jefferson Station. I'm using their Wi-Fi and relaxing at this point I'm updating my blog and checking

laundry. That's the plan. Plans can change. I was thinking of going somewhere far away and coming back just for the hell of it as well. Well today is going to the best day when it comes to the weather. Its cloudy and cool BUT its NOT raining. Its going to be a soaking tomorrow for the Broad Street Run. Oh well. I went to the rental place at 12 street near Chestnut. Well I got my rental car at the enterprise lot at Joe and just not. They're going to give me a jeep. I decided to wait till small car cleaned. The car that I got was a Volkswagen Jetta 2015 job. Believe

an unexpected pain in the butt that I have to deal with on the whole trip up to Pitma and towards Melrose Park.

Anyhow, we first went to a place on Broadway in Pitman. They had high food looked very good. A weird thing happened as we are about to eat.
Driving in Philly
The owner told us we had to leave because there is electrical

Heading to Pitman
It was the first time I ever I believe restaurant because there was a fire issue. We then went to a Mexican place that was just like Chipotle. We liked it there

right back down to South Philly. Scenic route down second Street. No actually it was fourth Street
Pretty Tulips
it was very interesting seeing all the parts of Olney, Logan and North Philly.  We found a parking space

about a block and a half away from the Dupree Gallery. We were very relieved that the gallery is

actually open at people in it. We pick up our work nicely bubblewraped by one of the men at the gallery.

We wanted to talk to Mr. Dupree he was otherwise occupied. We then went to Alyans since I was the one who was hungry. I think she liked it a lot. It had a nice cozy

 atmosphere. We took time to talk and catch up

on things. And the food was quite delicious as well. After that we walked back to the

car and we took the expressway to Roosevelt Boulevard and took a left at Mascher Street.
