What happens after 5
Last night epitomized why we moved to Philly.
After my first week of work, I felt like we should celebrate by going out and doing something. So we ended up going to the Philadelphia Art Museum for their "after 5" program. They had martini's out on the top of the front stairs. They also had tables and a piano set up in the great hall. We got ourselves a drink and sat down on the second floor balcony. The music performance for the evening was opera, which was perfect given the acoustics in the great hall. After the opera we wandered around the armor collection and the european art collection.
And, of course, as any good night should end we went to Brighid's (our local pub) and finished the night off with a few more drinks and a really good meal.
After last night, I knew that our decision to move was the right one. I really knew it deep down in the cockles. I love this city. And with each passing day, I feel more like a native.
