Taking the Train to UPenn

Today seven of us Denbigh 2nd hallmates traveled to UPenn to the Penn museum. It was fabulous !!!

Firstly we rode on the SEPTA train, which was quiet bumpy and rather late :( But it was my first train ride up here in PA :) I have to say it really did make me smile, especially when we were laughing the whole way up there and the lady in front of me kept staring at us. Heck she was jealous of how much fun we were having :P Actually I think she wanted us to be quiet so her bay could sleep, but he did not wake up the whole journey.

The Penn Museum was quite nice. With plenty of interesting exhibits like the Egyptian golden figurines, the Buddhism room with tons of golden Buddhas, and of course because it was the 10th anniversary of 9/11, there was a special exhibit on 9/11. In the 9/11 exhibit there was a photo reel, places to sit and just reflect, places to share our experiences on that day, and objects rescued from the Twin Towers. The objects were squished and burnt from pressure and flames, but still identifiable. One that stands out to me is a Christmas ornament meant for 2001 Christmas and a stuffed animal with someone's name on it.
God bless America and all those who died that day ! We will never forget your sacrifice !

The sidewalks in Philadelphia steam :P  Plus some of the drivers are rude and do not acknowledge pedestrian right-of-way >:(

Haha counting off d-e-n-B-i-g-h !!!

You would have thought that by UPenn there would be plenty of restaurants to eat at, but we had terrible difficulty finding one. Besides several of us were getting grouchy due to hunger :P So we ate at  Japanese restaurant; however, the sushi chef was not in for lunch at 2PM :( So no sushi . . . I was disappointed ! Had a rather nice Spicy Calamari Rice Bowl though, despite the fact that it was far too big for one person !

Some of us then proceeded to stride ahead to the SEPTA station so we would not miss our train ! Would not have left anyone behind, but it turned out the train was still late from the morning, about 12-13 minutes late too. So we did not really have to rush but we did :P !!!

I love my Denbigh hallmates :D 
Hopefully we will have more explorations in the city !!!
This next four years at college will be great, I just know it :D
