I have been in Philadelphia for a week now, and I love the city. I live in more of a suburban area, but I am within walking distance of a central transportation hub, which will take me anywhere in the city and beyond. In 5 minutes from the house, I can go anywhere, including NYC, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C.

There are many things I enjoy about living here. First, the weather is awesome. It’s not smothering hot here. The temps are great. I may post something different during the winter! Secondly, there is instant access to so many wonderful things, from restaurants to plays. There are a lot of free things to do and also great places to eat that are extremely reasonable. Thirdly, the people are great. Everyone is very hospitable and friendly. There are many other things I could say about living here, but I will leave them for future posts.

I do miss Mississippi, and everyone back home. I have many wonderful friends and was involved in many activities. I hope to return home often!
