My first day off

I took a walk into Philadelphia after some house keeping duties in the morning. It's a great city, between the food, the history, the places to see and visit, just got to relax and enjoy the day and a half there. Of course i was suffering withdrawal symptoms from the bike. I'd sit looking out the window to keep an eye on it in restaurants and then realise i had left it at the hostel for the day, And my legs the morning after, eventhough i had spent a lot of the day walking around had already started to seize up on me. Of course i also enjoyed catching up with a few of my old college friends around before setting off for New Jersey.
Somehow i managed what seemed to be a very quick exit out of Philadelphia after giving a visit to Temple University, heading up toward Morrisville and crossing over into New Jersey. That may also be partly due to fact that i was heading out through some neighbourhoods that i would not go walking through, as they may not be the best. A lot of bridges from here on are car only and so unsuitable for bikes so i had to travel well up the Delaware river before crossing over. Spent an good night in the care of North Brunswick EMT. They allowed me sleep in their building and were very welcoming to some stranger that turned up at their door. Thankfully it was a quiet night on the job for them, and i got moving good and early to head up to where i used to work and coach and see many more friends in Westport, Connecticut.
