We were in Philadelphia before we came to Albany. Philly is cool and we had a great time in the museum and with friends there. The museum is one of the oldest in the country and the mammal collection is in the basement. There are great things in the collection and it is like working in a wine cellar - I loved it! Kris got a cap there with a dinosaur on and he looks very boyish in it :oP The traditional food (besides the cream cheese!) is a 'cheese steak' which is basically a steak sandwich. Unfortunately we did not try this delicacy but the american diet has no shortage of such cheese filled, artery hardening, heart attack inducing cuisine I didn't feel I was missing too much!
Tomorrow we are off to NYC to visit our good friends Conan and Ellie and spend a couple of days in the vast collections of the American museum... I love to visit NYC!
