Walking downtown

Dan and I walked downtown today to his eye doctor, and we walked through campus, where the Penn Relays are in progress. This guy was sitting on the wall at the corner of 33rd and Spruce Streets:




This also happens to be the 80,000th photo I've taken with my Nikon D200!!

There were runners all over campus, really, and in center city. We passed these guys on the Walnut Street bridge:





Then we headed down to Rittenhouse Square:





This guy was doing some really impressive flips. Not sure if he was practicing, exercising, showing off, or a combination of all three:




Three guys (these 2 plus a bass players) were by the fountain playing Beatles songs. The Beatles have been following me lately. Not sure why:




This last one needs a quick explanation. A minister had set up in the center of Rittenhouse Square and was attempting to convert passers-by by preaching through a small loud-speaker he'd brought with him. A saw a couple people engage with him, although I'll tell you from experience that arguing with such people is a pointless endeavor, unless you're just trying to waste your time or theirs. Then a guy came over and told him to stop what he was doing, that he was bothering everyone. They argued for a bit, and the guy even went and unplugged the preacher's speaker a few times, which riled him up a bit. In the end, the police came and made the preacher stop using his loud speaker.
