Eating Philly Cheese Steak in the City of Brotherly Love (WMOF Papal Pilgrimage to Philadelphia 2015)

During lunch on this day, we got another surprise. We ended up eating at the Reading Street Market at the same Philly Cheesteak Stand that Obama ate at during his visit! The line was LONG and it wasn't long before we figured out why.  The owner took a LONG time with the ladies in line.  He would talk and talk to each person.  When he found out our Immaculate Hearts of Mary were "blessed religious images worthy of veneration," he asked to touch them.  My guess is, he wanted to for other reasons.  ;-)  In a further cool thing, we came upon a big street art project called "Popedelphia" where you could pay a dollar to sign a colorful picture of Pope Francis. Just thought it was cool.
