Philadelphia pics!

Here's some pics of my recent trip to Philadelphia - weather was very strange as it went from about -20 and snowing to a nice warm spring day in the space of about a day :)

Nice pics.

Was there back in 1998. Myself and two others did the obligatory run up those steps, whilst singing the Rocky theme. Went for a trip on the Delaware - it was freezing (November I think). I remember this big rusty old ship - Queen Elizabeth II I think - one time holder of the Blue Ribbon for fastest Atlantic crossing.

Dodn't like the city much over all though... went there from Boston and there was a noticeable difference in affluence. More slum type areas, even the cop cars were older and scruffier.
