Sunday, June 12: A Change of Plans. A Walk Along Kelly Drive and Little Pete's

Staying up late last night, I had cited to set my alarm for 11 o'clock and then get ready to go to Buffalo

 at noon. Well, I got a call from a friend at approximately 8:30 AM this morning. We caught up a little bit
OCF Coffee
about her trip to Maryland and Virginia. Also we talked about her going to a meeting around 11.
Going to 30th Street
We then decided to take a walk instead. Our mutual idea was a walk up Kelly drive. We made

arrangements. She would drive to 30th St. and wait for me there. I ordered a coffee and our

lunches at the OCF coffee house and called Uber at the same time. That was a bit and for me juggling Uber

Along the Schuykill
and theSchuykill  River. They were both looking really nice. We also got to talk and hang out as well.
It Was a Nice Day
We came back. I was really thirsty so I headed to the café that was right there. I decided to buy a

Going to 30th Street
In between then I kept trying to take a little nap and it just wasn't working. 730 rolled around real quick
