Philly
Now now, it would not be right to have mom see DC and NY and not give her a taste of good ol Philly.
We took a bus tour but it was nothing like the one in DC. Philly come on, style up a little bit remember this is the birth place of U.S.A.
Anyway we were all squashed up, there was hardly any room between the sits and unlike DC where we had an audio recording, we had a tour guide who was really labouring in love. At first we were skeptic but it turned to be a good thing, the guy was funny and even though he had been telling the same story several times that day and who knows how many times through out the summer, he still made it an interesting and learning experience. Come to think of it, he has just begun because we are fresh out of winter and heading into summer. Boy! he has lots of talking to do this summer, the good thing is he enjoys what he does.
Philadelphia City Hall. It's the largest, tallest, and most expensive of all city halls in the United States. The statue at the top is of William Penn, the guy who pretty much founded and planned the lay out of Philly.
Betsy Ross house. Betsy was the lady who sewed the first American flag.
Philadelphia Museum of Art, aka the Rocky steps. Can you see someone at the top of the stairs with hands raised? yup, that's me. Mich is almost invisible but he is standing right next to me.
One thing I wanted to do before I left Philly was to jog up those stairs and do the "Rocky Balboa pose". Aaaah! now I can leave in peace.
