Philly!!

Hi again!
It's monday again which means I've had yet another weekend to do some sightseeing here in the eastern US. First I have a few more photos from last weekends visit to New York:



This is me standing on the Brooklyn bridge with the New York skyline behind me. Fortunately there are always some nice old ladies I can get to take my photo!

And the photo below is the amazing view from Empire State building! It was really something!! If you know where to look you can actually see the statue of Liberty on Liberty Island far to the right...!



This weekend I took a one day trip to Philadelphia to experience the largest city in the colonial days! And there was a lot of history to see and experience! I now know everything about Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Betsy Ross!!
These 2 towers are the first you see arriving in Philly...





This is Carpenters' hall where the first continental congress met in 1774 when they felt threatened by England! And I thought America had absolutely nothing of historical interest! I was wrong!! It's my guide in the white t-shirt!



And of course I had to go see the Liberty bell! It was smaller than I'd imagined but it was great to see anyway! And as you can see I ran into another nice lady!!



Philadelphia city hall!! A beautiful building so much bigger than what this photo shows. Philadelphia is actually a lot like New York, only smaller! There is also a china town, a finance district and some really nice and cozy areas. South Street was probably my favorite area, with lots of small interesting boutiques. The kids are calling; so I'd better go now!! Have a nice week!!! Kram!!
