The city of Brotherly Love

I recently took a trip up to Philadelphia, PA. What a fun city!!! I really enjoyed my trip- the city is REALLY nice - its very very NYC like but without all the dirt and ridiculous high stress. hahah On top of that, the weekend I went to visit...the weather was AMAZING!!! (70F+) LOVED IT! And UPENN is really beautiful! I loved the campus, and there is a strip of shops right across the street. OMG I'm in love! HAHA

Here are just a few pictures of my trip. Unfortunately I did not have a lot of time to sightsee the city, as I spent the majority of my weekend touring UPENN.

(This area was equivalent of the BC Walkway at Duke)

Apparently, Cameron Indoor Stadium is modeled after this building:

Penn Engineering Quad area:

These LOVE sculptures were everywhere:

March Travels

It's been quite some time since I've traveled anywhere... but this past weekend I took a quick trip up to New York City. I was there for only 2.5 days including airport time. I spent most of my time on the Upper West Side, but had some time in the down-town areas, like SOHO and Columbus Circle. Unfortunately I did not remember to take too many pictures, though some new friends did. (I'm waiting to get them from them!). Here are a few images of Columbus Circle.

Enjoy!
