A Magnificent Trip to Philly, the Botanical Gardens and my Return to Blogging…

Okay so I know I have been out for a long time and there is probably way too much that I have missed out but it’s impossible to recall it all, instead I am returning to blogging with my recent experiences then move on from there so here goes…

This past Saturday I went to a place called Philadelphia.  I left in the morning and came back in the evening via bus.  So my thoughts on Philly are this, it is nice, friendly but little to do there.  I guess I have been spoilt with New York with endless amounts of fun to be had each and everyday.  Anyway, I went with six girls and no other men and had an excellent time.  I took loads of pictures and put a video together that can be seen below.  Before leaving for Philly there were four things I decided I wanted to do there.  These were to run up the Rocky steps, which are the steps to a museum that Rocky ran up in his film, see the Liberty Bell, stand by the original love sign which can also be seen below and eat a Philly Cheesesteak!  I managed to do all of these things.  It’s fair to say from that list that there is little to do there but I went there in mind that it may not be all that impressive but yet I still liked it for some reason.  I don’t think there is any need or desire for me to go back but that is not because I hate it, it’s just that there is no need for me to be there!  All in all it was a good day and the cheesesteaks aren’t too bad either even though they kind of look like a bit like a kebab!

On Sunday I went on a visit to the Botanical Gardens in the Bronx.  I have to say the only plants I like are weird and wonderful looking ones otherwise I get a bit bored by flowers even if they look pretty!  There were some weird plants there for me to enjoy but it was mostly flowers.  It is quite a big place and the Bronx River flows through it complete with a small waterfall.  This waterfall is pitiful compared to the beast I am due to visit next week, which is the Niagra Falls!  More to come on that but the botanical gardens was very pretty and it was a nice day so it made it all the more better.  If you like flowers this is the place for you but otherwise I guess it isn’t.  I like it when you can touch stuff and see what it can do!!!

Anyway, that’s all for this blog Halloween coming up next…!
