NOTES
- Historical district very lush and well-preserved
- Two cheesesteaks today: Sonny's and Campo's; both solid
- Humid; walked about 6-8 miles today and have a friction burn
- Uneven sidewalks a bit of a challenge
- Philadelphians seem to know when to start crossing even though the light hasn't changed to green ... Dawn says they look the other way to see the opposing light changing but I'm guessing everyone has a sixth sense
