Philadelphia by train

Market East Station

Today Nancy and I ventured down to the city on the train. It took about 45 minutes, not too bad. But it did cost $24!!! I think that’s pretty darn expensive. Too bad everyone wants their own car, it makes it hard for the rail systems to survive I guess. The picture above was taken at Market East Station when we got off the train. The train in the picture was the train we rode in. The station is underground and you come out right in the Terminal Market. The place has many restaurants and other shops. We walked a few blocks from there to go and check out a local Gelato shop. I took some pictures of the place for my friend Michael who just opened up a shop out in Marin, California.

I snapped a quick shot of my coffee and tangerine gelato. The place only had a few people when we came in, but a few minutes after this shot it filled up almost to capacity. Nancy was surprised that so many people would want a cold desert on such a winter day. We stayed for a while and I did some research on Korea jobs and then we headed home. It was fun to get out and about for a bit and do some people watching.
