Philadelphia Dreamin'...

...all the leaves are brown (and red, and yellow, and orange) and the sky is blue. Yes, it's true that the North Eastern coast of the US in the Fall is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Indeed, we were so mesmerised by it, we failed to take any photos. We put it down to our generally relaxed pedalling today due to (almost) mastering the use of the Garmin (GPS), which got us here much quicker than the stop/start map consultation "oh, shall we take a photo" process of yesterday. After rolling out of New Hope at a fairly leisurely time and pace, and wowing at the beautiful scenery, tranquility, and (most importantly) smooth road surface, it would be an understatement to say that we were ecstatic to find a Whole Foods en route just around lunchtime... awesome... and even meeting a lovely person there who wanted to donate to our cause. We also marvelled at the fact the Philly has an 18.5 mile bike path running into it from the North, along the river for most of the way (see photo) ...shouldn't all cities should have one? So, being a little saddle sore, we are looking forward to our rest day tomorrow, and then it's on the road again on Weds....
