Hello from Phily. We have spent a few days here between Brian's performances (the opera opened last weekend and was very well received. Here is a link to the reviews.) We are hosted by the Nuttalls and they are such great hosts even while they are out of the country! We have had a great time and will post more later, but here are a few photos while I have a good borrowed wireless connection.
Above is the fountain at Logan Square. Kristy clued us in that locals "wade" in it. It was very fun, so fun that we may do it again.

One of my old friends from growing up has a sister in the area who watched our kids so we could walk around alone for a little bit. We went to Ritterhouse Town that was established in 1690. Anyhow, we are winding down and getting ready for the last weekend of opera before heading home next week. We have liked it out here, but there is no place like home.
