Exposure

I went to Philadelphia with some friends about two weeks ago. This trip was more special than any other trip I have gone on as it was our first time being out in a city alone without supervision. Our original reason for going out to the city was to attend a rally supporting Healthcare. It was one of the best feelings to see a large group of people who want to protect people's right to live and be healthy. After the rally, however, we stuck around to explore Philadelphia.

It was interesting to see all these different types of people in one place. Street performers, a man in a suit running to get to work on time, Uber drivers. Sadly, it was also easy to find homeless people and maybe a drug addict or two. 

Beautiful art followed us wherever we went throughout the city. We found an art museum that showcased student work. Murals were easy to find wherever you went. We even found a massive airplane sculpture and giant paintbrush. 

The whole experience made me wonder if I wanted to live in the city. Maybe one day, but not now.  I feel like their is so much we didn't get the chance to see. I want to go back again to see what else Philadelphia has to offer.
