After all this hot weather, I finally caved and bought an AC unit of Amazon! I also set it up by myself which made me feel like such an adult!
Minor Differences
Leftover snow
The day after the blizzard hit … I think it would have been better if they shoveled as they went along… Oh well!
Whole foods
I finally went to Whole Foods in Philadelphia, and like everything else, the store was much smaller than normal. I was kinda a lot disappointed in the limited choice for everything.
That is until l I found the tea cookie cart. Then I was overwhelmed and couldn’t leave. I’m actually surprised that I didn’t just wheel the cart out with me. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what I call self control.
So I’ve been trying to explain to everyone that houses in Philly look very different from Edmonton.
The first thing that I try to describe is that houses are kind of like our townhouses – there isn’t any space between them. They’re smushed right up against each other.
But I usually get blank looks. Everyone smiles and nods but I can tell that they can’t really picture what I’m describing. That’s when I try to explain that they’re kinda like brownstones. More blank stares. (Actually I don’t even know if I know what a brownstone is.)
So I figured I would save everyone the hassle and just post pictures. Here you go!
So now I hope you know what to expect when you visit Philadelphia =)
