Fun times with Hamu and the Gang in Philly

Well the trip to Philly was nice. Did it in 2 days so Eric would get used to the driving. The first night we slept in Poughkeepsie, NY. Then the next morning we woke up early and continued to Philly. Made a few small navigational mistakes and ended up taking some smaller roads there. It worked out good because the higheay was packed with accidents from the heavy rain that was coming down left over from hurricane Ernesto.
Anyways we arrived at Hamu and Yis' place around 1:00PM saturday. We relaxed a bit, had a nice big lunch, and later that night went to see Yis' fantastic restoraunt (shouk). We enjoyed some nice time the next morning in the Rittenhouse park which is right next to Hamu's place. Lots going on with dogs, kids and birds enjoying the park on a nice day.
That afternoon we all went out for a mini tour of the city and a nice dinner. Walked for a few hours saw some galleries, some main streets, the downtown and also the enjoyed a great dinner. We went to where the famous "Rocky" the movie scene was filmed at the gallery. Eric B. had a great time seeing his cousins, and they enjoyed being with him as well. Trip was a little too short but we still has a good time.
