Travelogue, Day 24: Sleep, eat, ballpark
Posted By Jeff Fletcher on November 1, 2009 3:12 pm
Thanks to about a 90 minute rain delay and the standard three and a half hour ballgame, plus a 20 minute search for a cab home, I didn’t get back to my hotel room till about 3 am (which became 2 am, thanks to the time change). Bottom line, I slept till almost noon today, which left me just enough time to get to lunch and come to the ballpark. Me and two other writers walked to Chinatown and got some, uh, Chinese food. Then we took the subway to the ballpark.
The Philadelphia subway seems pretty convenient. Similar to New York. Not quite as squeaky clean as we’re used in the Bay Area with BART, but it does the trick. It’s also cheaper.
Anyway, now I’m at the ballpark, so there’s not a whole lot to report from today. I am planning to wake up early on Monday and go see some stuff in Philadelphia. Maybe the Liberty Bell. Maybe Constitution Hall. I did want to go to the Mint and see how they make money, but apparently you can’t bring cell phones or cameras into there. I can’t be without my cell phone.
