Kelly Drive

A getaway from the city of Philadelphia...Without leaving it! Technically this would be categorized as a city park, but the ambience is too strong to limit it to that.

Walking with reptiles

I like to go on walks near the lake but sometimes it can be dangerous depending how close you are to the water. I find them quite docile if you do not mess with them.

Buying books I don’t need

I love to go to bookstores and buy a new book. I love reading and how you can get swept away in a story. My favorite thing is to pair a good book, with some coffee.
