This morning we walked to the Rodin Museum. What an amazing collection of Rodin sculpture. If u r ever in Philly, u need to put this on your "must see" list. They have just finished a lengthy renovation of this museum and its grounds, and we felt fortunate to be here shortly after it reopened.
Following that museum experience, we walked to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, another magnificent building. For you Rocky fans, there was a bronze statue in front and a long line of people waiting to get their picture taken next to it. We decided that was too cheesy, even for us.
We talked to Lee and Mike by phone and made plans to meet with them tomorrow after the Gold Rush Pairs event. U seasoned tournament goers have probably already experienced this, but we have found it very fun to hook up with our G. R. bridge buddies. Beth and Robert were very fun and were able to keep up with Margaret and me quite nicely. The bar has been set a little high; we'll see how Lee and Mike do.
So we have a couple things to finish up our day. We r headed over to the see the Liberty Bell shortly, then someplace for fish and salad for dinner, and back to the bridge table tonight at 7:30. There is a lecture we will probably go to before playing. It is on "Hand Patterns." We know we need to learn a lot more about that.
