We arrived at this familiar and friendly marina at 5:00, tied up quickly and visited with dockmasters Tim and Charlie who seem to always to be there when we are.
We decided to forego our usual visit to Lewinsky on Clinton and instead have our own cocktail hour on board and work our way through the food in our refrigerator. We still have a lot in the freezer which we need to consume because our journey is (sadly) almost over!
Then we left him onboard and headed into Philly. On the way we stopped at a cool country market where we bought apples and veggies and Stephanie got a couple of pumpkins for Halloween.
We arrived at her very comfortable apartment just off beautiful Rittenhouse Square and were greeted by her cute kitty, Sasha.
That afternoon we headed over to Philly’s hipster neighborhood known as Fishtown.
There, we found a very cool pub called Jonny Brenda’s that featured all kinds of hard cider. We had a delicious lunch and yummy ciders. Our server was an engaging young woman from the Lake George area who was very familiar with the lovely town of Vergennes, Vermont which was one of our favorite places on Lake Champlain. The connection came up because one of the featured ciders was made in Vergennes. As expected, a lively conversation about our journey ensued.
Upon returning to Stephanie’s apartment, she popped a open a bottle of Veuve Clicquot so we could celebrate her recent promotion and raise and her upcoming birthday. We are so proud of her! And later that evening we had a celebratory dinner at a great Italian restaurant in the Old City called Panorama. It was exceptionally good and we obviously were throwing caution to the winds with our culinary indulgences this weekend!
It was quite cold having dropped to the 40’s during the night. Stephanie showed us the new building her company would be moving to by the end of the year and we walked back towards her apartment. She is so lucky because she can walk to work now and when her company moves she will be even closer to the new building.
Philadelphia is a very beautiful city and she really loves living in one of the nicest parts of this historic city.
After a homey lunch at the comfortable restaurant across the street from her home, we loaded up her car and she drove us back to Delaware City so we could resume our cruise the next day. We’ll see her next in Miami when she comes home for Thanksgiving. A wonderful weekend was had by all!

The next morning Stephanie picked us up. Georgio was very happy to see her and gave her a big hug!

Stephanie made breakfast for us on Sunday morning and we headed out for a brisk walk along the Schuykill River.
