Watch "See Longwood Gardens in a Whole New Light" on YouTube
I am walking in fields of light right now. It is astounding.

Walt Whitman's Tomb
Well it was amazing. Modest by most any standard. Plain, nothing spectacular. Grave keepers digging nearby. Cars and sirens just over the fence in a Camden that's been rundown with poverty. But it was incredible to me. I have a video of some readings there that I can't upload it seems.
As good as this was though, nothing prepared me for what I would see at the Philly art museum... I had no idea this piece was on loan. I saw it and cried for 15 minutes. I never thought I would live to see it....
More later. :-)
Abandon Tent!
First night and it rained like mad. About 3/4 of an inch of water was pooled up in my tent. Everything got soaked and I mean everything. I have pictures but having a hard time getting them updated on the blog using this campsite wireless connection. Will look for a beter hotspot today -- meanwhile off to pull stuff out of the dryer!
For Whom The Road Tolls
There's nothing that says welcome to our great state like a toll road. Not that I ever believed it one bit, now I know why some say Northern people are a little more grumpy than folks in the South... gotta be the toll roads. I would need a full time regiment of psychotropic drugs if I lived here. I seriously paid more in tolls than I did for my campsite.
Not only did the road toll for me, I actually paid money for accesss on roads that were so packed with cars that I couldn't drive much over 5 miles per hour. Seriously, I drove my first 450 miles in 7 hours. My last 150 miles took six hours. And I paid them for the priviledge... hahahaha.
