During my days off, Indecided to take a flight to Philadelphia . – February 14,15,16. 2016-
It was interesting to explore the READING TERMINAL MARKET :
There are vendors with food from all over the World and Amish specialities ! Fresh meat, seafood, sweet treats, breakfast,lunch, Danish food, Thailand cuisine and much more! Of course I started with a coffee and then got breakfast from one of the places,which was very good! Absolutely an interesting place. Then I also got a dozen of donuts. I’m vegetarian but it was interesting to see that they even have Bacon Donut!!!
After that, I decided to go to the Mutter Museum to see the interesting exhibit they had there. I wanted to see The Medical Oddities of Alice: Potions, Poisons, & Pathology: 150 Years of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. It was fascinating to see how the fairytales and the Grimm Brothers incorporated the medical effect into their stories.
Then I spent a lot of time exploring the exhibit Vesalius On The Verge: The Book and The Body. There were skeletons of many people that died for different reasons. There were babies born with 2 heads or other malformations that were kept in jars and liquid.
Then I took a walk with my coffee while snowflakes were falling down. It was very pretty to see this city in white.

You should! It was an interesting place! After 11.30 am people were doing a line to get food from certain vendors. I did the line for the donuts…all worth!

@IAN …. You should do more, you should see more, you should travel. Life can be too short. We know what’s happened today, we live in the present hoping for the best but our future is uncertain.
