...Moved to Philadelphia


Friday, May 28th, my parents and I moved a Jeep-load of stuff into my new room in Philadelphia. I am up here for a 6 month Physical Therapy internship at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). It took us multiple cart loads and multiple days to get my room all set up, but I believe that it has been a success. In the evenings, my parents and I would explore the parts of Philadelphia and all that there is to offer. We saw areas of the city that I should probably avoid (especially at night) as well as parts of the city that would be very interesting to explore more.




Sunday, May 30th, we went to dinner at Moshulu.
"
Since the launching of the Moshulu (pronounced Mo-shoe'-loo) in 1904, she has had a long and exciting career on the seas w
orking the ports of Europe, South America, Australia, America and Africa. She was confiscated by the Americans in one war and by the Germans in the next... Today, the Moshulu is the largest four-masted sailing ship in the world still afloat." http://www.moshulu.com/site/history.asp

It was a neat boat and was a very nice experience. If you ever are in Philadelphia, go and visit Moshulu; It's a great time. On the top deck of the boat, we ordered drinks after dinner. The bartender mixed together multiple flavors of Malibu Rum to create a delicious drink!
