Walking man
Posted by mobile phone:
I’ve been hosting my brother-in-law Steve this weekend, for his trip to Philly to run the marathon. As a non-participant, I’ve still managed to cover a good distance on foot since the race began. I’m currently resting (and finally getting some food) at Starbucks at Market and 18th. Just locating a place not mobbed with race watchers has been an adventure.
One unexpected bit of fun arose this morning when, just after dropping Steve off, I discovered a parking spot on Race Street (which I drove down thinking the name of the street might have been a sign).
The space, while incredibly close to the marathon finish line, did pose a challenge to my somewhat rusty city parking skills. I’m even a little proud of myself for squeezing the car in without incident; I may post a picture of it when I post a couple from the marathon itself.
