Trip to Atlantic City

I just returned from a trip to Atlantic City for a meeting.  I was supposed to fly out of Waco, but the flight was cancelled due to fog in Dallas.  So, I had to drive to Dallas to get the plane to Philadelphia.

Atlantic City does not have good air service.  So, from the Philadelphia airport I had to take a commuter train to the downtown AMTRAK station, and from there take an AMTRAK train to Atlantic City.  In the 30th St Station, there is a memorial to workers who died building the railroad.

The train took about an hour and a half to get to Atlantic City. So, I got there rather late in the evening.  I stayed in the Trump Taj Mahal.  Thursday morning, I went out for a walk. About a block away was this building.  Pigeons were roosting along the fire escape and on the roof.  At one point, one of the tenants opened a window and threw some food out.  Pigeons from all over flocked to the ground to fight over the food.

Later, I took a walk on the boardwalk.  Looking up from the boardwalk at the Taj Mahal, I took this picture.
