Ironically, a lack of stamina did me in today.
After a truly excellent meal at Kanella, the plan was to check out the PIFA street fair.
Starting out from 10th and Spruce towards Broad, it immediately became clear that the fickle April clime was going thwart my plans. The sun was poking through the clouds, certainly, but not enough to warm the Missus, who found the chilling wind far too strong.
Once we made it to Broad, the crowds were awesome, but, still crowds, with all the frustration that implies. Generally heading north we wended our way through the crowds, passing a number of stalls. Some were selling food, such as a Parc stand with little pans of quiche for $4. I also saw a shoe stand from Aerosoles. We also passed by a face-painting stand, where little children were getting adorably dolled up.
We passed by a acrobatic demonstration, a short dancing bear, and a stage with musicians playing what sounded like Caribbean-influenced jazz.
Unfortunately, here the combination of crowds and chill sapped our will to investigate further. A shame, really, as I had hoped to take in the view from the Ferris Wheel, and catch the big acrobatic show intended for 7:30. But there is wisdom in knowing one's limits.
So on we proceeded, first to Macy's, and then, after establishing that they now have a Sunglass Hut, rather than their own sunglass brands for sale, to Liberty Place. There we took advantage of the food court for a light snack and a chance to rest our weary feet in peace.
