If you doubted that Philly is a must experienced destination... worth more than 36 hours in my humble bias opinion!

Spring is synonymous with street festivals, but the city’s colonial charm, world-class art and passionate cheesesteak discourse is year-round.

Today citizen Joséphine Baker will enter the Pantheon in Paris during a state ceremony.

The Pantheon is the burial site of 81 exceptional individuals including Marie et Pierre Curie, Simone Weill, Voltaire, Rousseau, Louis Braille and Victor Hugo. Being inducted into the Pantheon is France's highest honor.

The presidential decree states "World-renowned music hall artist, committed to the Resistance, tireless anti-racist activist, she was involved in all the fights that bring together citizens of goodwill, in France and around the world.

For all these reasons, because she is the embodiment of the French spirit, Joséphine Baker, who died in 1975, deserves the recognition of her homeland."

"To the great men, the grateful homeland" are the words written on the facade of the monument.

There are many ways to enjoy a bike through a bike sharing program. Touring a city on a bike is certainly one of them. First picture in the article is of Philadelphia which I am told has a good bike sharing program. I am the proud owner of a bike, my main mode of transportation in the city. Biking through Philly might not be as picturesque as the tour de France but I promise it will as exhilarating -) https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/02/travel/ebikes-bike-sharing-us.html?action=click&module=News&pgtype=Homepage

Social-distancing, sustainability and accessibility helped accelerate e-biking during the pandemic, and the trend is showing up in urban bike-sharing programs.
