Love Thursday: Rocky & the City of Brotherly Love

As you may recall, on my trip to the States I stopped in my old stomping grounds, Philadelphia, to catch some LOVE in LOVE Park.

But you didn’t think I could come all the way from Italy and *not* stop in to pay my respects to one man every single Italian LOVES, did you?

Just in case you weren’t sure this was really the right statue:

And while I was snapping photos, guess what I spied?

After that, I jogged (Mom as my witness!) up the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps just like Rocky so I could check out his footprints:

And stand in them:

FYI: My best guess is that the Italian Stallion wears a size 8.

‘Scuse me…gonna fly now!

Sorry. Couldn’t resist.

Happy Love Thursday everyone!
