Our first stop on the east coast tour was Philadelphia. I haven't been there as an adult so it was newly fascinating and singing the Fresh Prince theme song over and over again does not get old. While there we walked past this guy on the street and I kept thinking to myself, "I know that guy." I couldn't place him til I was half way down the block and and then I had to turn around and get a picture with him. Ok American Idol fans: who remembers the "Let my people go" guy? Yep. He was a tour guide. He seems kind of slow which I suppose is not a surprise after believing he can sing. Good times.
We were there on July 2nd and 3rd which was really fun because they it's Philly's holiday really. We stayed in Chinatown in this pretty iffy place (sorry Wendy) and saw a lot of police action. At midnight we got hungry and went out for some Chinese. We ended up watching one of their game shows in the restaurant and were the only people that spoke English. It was so fun though. You don't need to know Chinese to appreciate their game shows. It was an international bonding experience.
