cousin matt came down with his two friends for the weekend so eric and i showed him around the city. this guy was playing the greatest music near a church in old city. i didn't want to leave.

also in old city, this blind woman was playing this instrument. its a pole with glass bowls all in different diameters that she pumps with her foot to turn. then she dips her fingertips in water and touches the rim of the bowls to make a ringing sound. she played all different kinds of songs. loved it
