Lisa and I are in Philadelphia this weekend. As you can see above, we came to see the Liberty Bell. We saw lots of other sights as well. There is a lot of history in Philadelphia.
Some of the things we did were:
-Visit the Liberty Bell.
-Visit the Old City Hall where the USA had its first Supreme Court.
-Visit Congress Hall where the first Senate and House of Representatives met.
-Visit Independence Hall where the declaration of independence was signed.
-Visit Dolly Madison’s house and Bishop White’s house.
-Visit the first post office.
-Visit the largest operating pipe organ at the Wanamaker building (which is now a Macy’s building).
-Visit Reading Terminal Market where we had some fine cooking by Pennsylvania Dutch Amish.
It was a full day. We walked a lot and saw a lot. Lisa will prepare a full report. In the meantime enjoy some of the photos we took.
