Can’t Go To Philly and Not Run Up The Rocky Steps

October 3, 2014 by Aldo Rancier

Yo, Adrian. I did it!

As I mentioned in Part Two of our trip to Philly, we ended the night eating delicious food while watching a free showing of an opera in front of Independence Hall.  I’m sure we weren’t allowed to sleep on the lawn so we headed over to our hotel.

Usually we use AirBnB for our accommodations, but we couldn’t really find anything that would suit our needs.  We were three heads so we needed two beds and I wasn’t going to pay $200 for one of us to sleep on a sofa bed.  This forced us to go to a hotel and the cheapest room we found – with good reviews – was $124 for two double beds and breakfast.  Not bad, since that came to about $41 a person.

The room was nice, but nothing fancy.  You know, it was a hotel room.  The breakfast? The same hotel breakfast you get everywhere.

We checked out after breakfast and made our way to Ultimo Coffee Bar because we heard it was the best coffee in town.  Kate and I didn’t drink coffee because that’s not my thing and Kate was full from breakfast, but our friend KJM had a soy vanilla latte and she said it was delicious.
