day trippin' in Philadelphia

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Sunday night I had tickets to U2 at the Wacovia center in Philadelphia. Amanda had never been there, and since we are about 2 hours in traffic (1:25 at night no traffic). Keep in mind we took her civic DX, and I was fairly reserved in my driving which is a change. But anyway, since she had never been there I thought it would be a great experience to go up early and walk around town and see a few places before the concert. We got a later start than planned but, we walked well over 4 miles around down town. As you will see in the following pictures that the weather was awesome. We went through much of the historic distric and had a great lunch outside, I love takeing her to places she has never been to. We went into some nice shops, but much of town was closed due to it being sunday, but that kinda kept the crowds to a minimum which you can see. You will see the grave yard where the boy from the movie The Sixth Sense was seen, along with the Liberty Bell, a sweet lunch, city hall, independance hall (part of National Treasure was shot there), a Lotus Elise, the center for performing arts, and a down the street shot in the arts district. I am sorry for some of quality of the pictures, I was fighting with the light a little at the begining, but ended up pushing everything auto because I was more worried about having a nice time instead of trying to get the perfect picture. So these are more or less snap shots from the day walking around downtown, enjoy.

I have an Olympus C-3000 Zoom, a few years old, but a solid camera by all accounts, when i crank it up the pictures of breath taking, but they dominate the card space espically when in .TIFF format, I would like a slightly smaller camera to slide into my pocket for snap shots of this sort, I would have normally taken my massive Richo manual but I did not want to lug it around nor did I have the right film

I use a Olympus C-60 Zoom. It is a bit fuzzy at times..and I mainly use it for quick shots, but it is a very nice, compact size. When it wants to be, its a great little digicam. The newer Nikon Coolpix models are also pretty small and take excellent images.

Light beer is for chick's.

[CBFryman 2]

or people who are trying to lower their BMI for next soccer season

I'm just giving you a hard time. I've never actually tried Corona Light, Coors light is about the only "light" beer I can handle in that category.

[04BlueSRT 0]

I usually drink Tecate, Pete's Wicked Ale, or Shiner Bock.

[04BlueSRT 0]

You can make fun of those.

[Supa_c 1]

Ask steve what american beer is made of

[04BlueSRT 0]

I'm afraid to ask. Although back in around 1987-1990 I hope you guys didn't drink any Coors products.

[02BlackOnBlackSS 1]

That Abita beer is from Louisiana. Good stuff.
