If you’ve followed Ritmo Bello for some time now, you know that I love history and enjoy traveling to places rich in history. You would also recognize that I love salsa dancing in the places I visit.

Well, I’m fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel to Philadelphia, “The City of Brotherly Love” , this week for an exciting weekend visit.

I’ve done some research online and found a varied assortment of places and activities to check out while I’m there. First, using my connections through Meetup.com I’ve been able to find out about the 28^th Annual Latino Festival that takes place this Saturday. The Philly Salsa Meetup group has organized an event to meet at the festival and I’m going to try to connect with some members from the group.

For nightlife I have a number of options that include these three venues:

Club Heat at Brasil’s: http://clubheatphilly.com/brasils/

North by Northwest: http://www.nxnwphl.com/

Center City Salsa: http://www.masterjmoves.com/gpage8.html

You can bet I’ll be doing some more research on places to visit for salsa while in the city and of course I’m open to any of your suggestions you might have for salsa clubs to visit.  Whatever places I do visit I’ll be writing reviews like I did with other places I’ve visited .

I’ll write some more about my trip later this week but until then I leave you with a quote from St. Augustine :

“The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” Time to read some pages……….
