Philly...finally

We have been in Pennsylvania for so long but we have yet to visit Philadelphia. We finally got a chance to visit this great city together with our relations. Philly is a beautiful city with many histories. In my opinion, Philly is many times better than NYC.


The modern skycrapers...


the old historical buildings...


...a great mix of the old and new, tastefully done. So, do we really always need to demolish the old to make way for the new?

Poconos in winter

We drove to the Poconos Mountains. The Poconos was bursting with bright colours in autumn. In winter, it is covered in a sea of pure white snow. One word to describe 'AWESOME'


The ski mountain


Sliding down the snow-covered mountain


Bringing the tube up the slope...


All ready to slide....(sorry no pixs on the way down but it was fun!)


Mummy said when she was a little girl, she ate ice ball as big as this snow ball.


Ann building her snow fortress


That was me! Climbing the snow mountain was not easy but it sure helped to shed off some calories. Finally...made it


Snow turning to ice. Do you know that no two snowflakes are the same?


Part of the lake was already frozen


The swans on the frozen lake

On such a cold day, what is the best dish to have? Hot indian curry! God is good isn't He? He knows all our needs. Believe it or not, we found an indian restaurant in the Poconos.


It has a train carriage eating area


Inside the train carriage and the scenary outside


Mutton curry with papadums. Oooo... heavenly
