Two American Idols

(note: This post is from last Sunday.)

Today we went to Philadelphia. We arrived in the mid-afternoon and so (of course) Dad had to go find a cheese-steak. After asking a policeman who got right up in Dad's face to say that "Sonny's waitin' for us!" we headed over to his reccommended cheese-steak vender... Sonny. It was actually pretty good. Afterwards, we headed over to the Liberty Bell. There are so many reproductions that it was unbelievable to be standing by THE bell. It is a true American idol. And speaking of American Idol's, I saw another one. I dont know if y'all remember James Lewis but he was the tour guide from Philly who sang "Let My People Go". If not here's his audition: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/28Pb4ioWZnw&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/28Pb4ioWZnw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

We were walking down the street and saw him standing on the street corner in his tour guide uniform. I was the one to spot him first and, of course, this was followed by, "Hey Mum! That's that guy from American Idol!" and "No it's not, who are you talking about?... Wait! Yes it is!" e&t. I got a lovely picture with him that you can find on the pics page. We'll be going to NYC and Boston soon!
