“Welcome onboard Flight 7916”quickly
turns into“Welcome to Philadelphia
International Airport,”and once again I’ve
only completed a chapter or so in my
book. No matter.
With such exhilaration as I’ve felt,such a
vibrant city I have explored - incredible
tastes along my tongue,and several gen-
uinely welcoming people I’ve met in 72
short hours,I feel like an exciting chapter
has just been written in my own life’s
pages.
Torontoisdefinitelya360ºcity.
