A Trip to the City of Brotherly Love

So on a mini trip to see one of my class mates get married I got to experience Philly again in the same fresh Philly style. Here are some fun/ awkward/ random occurrences there and to and from Philly.

Experience 1: On our way to Philly from Baltimore, I notice that my gas tank is almost empty. In an effort to save gas, I roll down the windows and head to the closest gas station. As I pull up to one of the stop lights there is a couple with their son. They are about 3 feet from my car when the dude starts yelling stuff to the woman and how he's "my son" and she slaps him. Confused about which domestic abuse this is, slightly not comfortable with the proximity to me and not really happy in the city of Baltimore I pray for a green light and wish I had locked my doors prior to rolling down my windows. (Don't worry she didn't slap him that hard and she could have definitely taken him if he tried anything)

Experience 2: Having an in-depth conversation with one of the Temple parking guards about where to park in the lot and how much it would be and then after 15 minutes leaving

Experience 3: Stepping in a pool of what I would assume to be urine from the smell after trying to avoid it.

Experience 4: Going back to that Temple parking lot guy to finally park

Experience 5: Running through Center City in 90 degree weather in a dress for a wedding. Ran 10 blocks in 10 minutes. That is good for me.

Experience 6: Trying to look calm, cool and collected while catching my breath, trying not to "glow" so much from the jog and looking down at my feet to realize I haven't changed into my dress up shoes and am about to sport flip flops as I'm escorted into the church

Experience 7: Stepping in another urine pool.

Philly was fun and what I expected...Philly. The End.
