Downtown

April 28

Roomie and I started the day with, of course, breakfast at Gold Standard. This time I had macaroon pancakes, two of my favorite things put together! We drove around downtown a little and went to the restaurant where another one of Roomie’s friends works, Friend B. It’s a really cool place in Fairmount called Jack’s and it was converted from an old firehouse to a restaurant. It still has the brick façade and pole you can slide down. We hung out there for awhile and walked around the area a little. It has a lot of unique shops and eateries and the penitentiary where Al Capone was held for a few days. We went back to Friend H’s apartment and took a nap. For some reason Roomie and I are always so tired! It’s probably because we’re walking everywhere and we’re not that used to it; most likely the reason we’re always hungry too. After our short respite we learned that another one of Roomie’s friends, Friend P, said that we could come stay at his place. We felt sort of bad for leaving Friend H, but her apartment was way too small for three people. We were also pretty excited to be going somewhere with internet because the Royal Wedding was going to be on that night/morning. So, we packed up our stuff, said by to Franki and moved from West Philly to Downtown.
