Excursion: Looking for Used Books

We drive from New Jersey to Philadelphia across the Ben Franklin bridge. (I really like the names of the bridges between Philadelphia and south Jersey - the Ben Franklin, the Walt Whitman, the Betsy Ross.)



 

We arrive at the Book Haven, a really nice used book store located across from Eastern State Penitentiary, which is now a museum and tourist attraction. Tim finds something to read.
Outside, the weather is lovely, the flowers are blooming, and the penitentiary is cheerful in the sunlight.

People are sitting at tables on the sidewalk today, which I find one of the best things about city life.


 That's it. We bought a couple books and had a good time. And I still had time left for a walk in the park later that day.

  1. Sounds like perfection. Love the flower picture especially and the one of the backs of heads. If I EVAH go visit Baby Sister again, we must get together.
