Today, myself and a group of friends took the subway to South Street, but first decided to look around Old City for some galleries. We went into one gallery that was full of horse paintings. Although I am not a horse lover, they were AMAZING! We saw the Betsy Ross House, which I remember going to for a field trip when I was in elementary school. When we got to south street we headed straight to Phileo for some frozen yogurt. I got cappuccino and peanut butter with LOTS of toppings! After satisfying our sweet tooth, we went to the Magic Garden which was one of the most unique places I've ever been to. Isaiah Zagar is a local artist who began tiling South Street in the 1960s and never stopped, constructing the space out of cement, bicycle spokes, bottles, ceramic shards and other artistic knick-knacks. Zagar has created more than 100 mosaics in Philadelphia, with most of them located along the South Street corridor. Then came some shopping at thrift stores. I've never been to a thrift store, so this was a new experience for me. Surprisingly I bought a couple of things - a pair of jeans and a jewelry box! All in all it was a fun day, but by the end of our trip my feet were killing me! Time for a nap...
