New City


So, we have been here in Philly a few weeks now.

New city, new life, new adventures.


All of our stuff made it here, except it seems all of our tupperware type shit, the food processor thingy and some baking dishes.
I can't remember seeing if that cabinet ever got packed, but it's not here.
I think we can sort that out, though.

Not bad, considering the logistics associated with this whole move...


We have pretty well found our way around our new 'hood.
The vibe close by is pretty great, and we are thankful for that...

Gonna try to explore some more this weekend and get down with the whole patriotic thing, here in the founding city of our nation.

Hit up some Chinese festival, the market, a parade in Old City, along with watching shit blow up is the agenda for the weekend.
Nothing is set in stone, we're just gonna try to have some fun and see some stuff...


I have been surprised by the whole "brotherly love" vibe this place has...
That is not just talk, it seems.
This town is one of the most inclusive urban environments I have ever dove into.

Once we get past the "You moved here from San Francisco...why?" conversation, everybody wants to dial us into there favorite things about the city, help us out, or invite us to their upcoming fun day...
Hints of some serious racial tension in the city seem to melt away as soon as folks realize we are just here to enjoy life, like everybody else.



So, we are here, doing our thing...
Mostly settled in.
Enjoying the adventure.
