US East Coast Day 6: Philadelphia

On Jan. 17, 08 we went on a day trip to Philadelphia. Not wanting to take the so-called "Chinatown Buses", we took the train from New York's Penn Station to Philadelphia. The whole journey took 2 hours and cost about $20 one-way.

It was not a direct train ride, we had to stop in Trenton, N.J. to change trains. During the train ride, all you could see was blight, miles and miles of abandoned factories etc. and garbage. The landscape of New Jersey is pretty depressing.

At Trenton Station, this town, the state capital of New Jersey, is also pretty depressing, we were hungry and there was nothing near the train station except for a deli 1-2 blocks away run by Mexicans.
