A Farewell to Philadelphia

My last few days have been filled with joyous good-byes. I finished up my job and am happy to have put it in my past. The past three work years are chalked up in my brain as a  learning and growing experience. It was a wild ride. I am glad that I have now jumped off that train.

As I am finishing packing up my apartment I bid Philadelphia a farewell. I will miss a lot that it has to offer, mostly the restaurants! My stand-out favorites had become: Parc , Talula’s Garden or Pumpkin for dinner, Hawthornes and Wedge and Fig for brunch and Tria or Vintage for drinks.  There’s a different restaurant fit for each occasion but these few would suit me any day. I’ll miss the hidden gems of the city like the Waverly Garden and the quiet houses that sit back on car-less streets. For these are the streets where I really felt at home amongst the constant moving city. I’ll miss walking out my door and having the capability to go anywhere and see anything within a twenty minute walk. I’ll miss being able to meet up with friends and see them within the hour. I will miss the culture and charism of the people, though crazy, it kept me on my toes. But with all of this, I’m excited for a slower pace and a peace that will come with it!

So, I bid a farewell to Philly! I have a few restful days until I am off for Georgia.
