Schuylkill Banks - a New Direction


Today I learned that the riverwalk along the Schuylkill River in Philly is actually called Schuylkill Banks. A new section opened in the last year.

This section took so long to complete because it needed a bridge. They built one of those suspension bridges where the cables are all connected to one post.

Got a nicer picture of the skyline.

You might notice the older railroad bridge in the foreground. It's still in use!

Marie, Dave and I took this nice walk, but Rachel had to work. The afternoon was more relaxing with a few household tasks and some visiting. I even crocheted a bit. In the evening we watched a Miss Marple movie.

I traded the white puppy of a couple days ago for Casper the white cat. With only four of us in the house instead of six or more, Casper is much more calm. He's never disliked me, but he's been more than happy to be my friend on this visit.
