"Don't Make A Misteak"


No, that's not a type-o in the title. Such words of wisdom are found at Pat's King of Steaks, where they are in hot competition with Geno's right across the street for the best cheesesteaks in Philly. You better make sure you order you steak right and quickly, or they'll throw you to the back of the line. They don't mess around, and there are hundreds of people waiting in line behind you for the cheesy goodness.

We were on a pretty tight schedule, so we didn't have time to blog about Philly until now. Which is a shame, because Philly is a great town. Man, what a cool city - the city of Brotherly Love, indeed. Lots of history everywhere you look. Seeing the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Congressional Hall, and the Liberty Bell was something that everyone should do at some point. Visiting those landmarks, along with singing "America the Beautiful" at the Yankees game today, I really feel proud to be an American and grateful that I get to enjoy the freedoms that so many died for in the greatest nation in the world.

And if seeing those patriotic sites can't pump you up, then maybe running the streets with Philly's blue-collar hero will:
