As happy as I am to be living with Stacy, I'm a little bit bummed about moving out of my apartment. Jenkintown rules, & I miss it already (which is why I'm going back up there tomorrow morning, I suppose). Claymont, Delaware is a noplace in comparison.
SIGHTS:
Grace Church (inside & out)
The far-off Philadelphia skyline, which I could see from my fire escape when the trees lost their leaves
The Post Office's flag, which I could see from my desk
SOUNDS:
Train whistles
Catholic church bells at noon & 6:00 PM every day, & Episcopal church bells at 10:00 AM on Sunday mornings
Occasional, elusive wisps of bagpipe music - coming from where? I never did find out.
SMELLS:
Garlic wafting out of Buca di Beppo (just typing that makes me hungry)
Incense at Aphrodite's Dove
Roses in Ray's garden
TOUCHES:
The extremely smooth hardwood floors in my 108-year old apartment
Cool, rounded pebbles in the Tacony Creek
The spines of the books in the Jenkintown Library
TASTES:
Pumpkin Ravioli at Phriends (all right, that's been gone awhile but still)
Cream of wheat pancakes from IHOP
The entire vegetarian menu at La Pergola
