ben franklin bridge and philadelphia in back groundSunday 21st June
Today we decided to head into the old city to check out some of the sites. The old city is home to some unique buildings and items that are important parts of American history. The Liberty Bell is held here in one museum which is free to enter. The house where Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, the site where Benjamin Franklin's house once stood. All of these sites were really interesting and we followed a walking trail around the city looking at all the relevant sites. The first stop though was a park in the city called ‘Love Park’ due to a sculpture located in the park in front of a fountain. We got some free cans of Red Bull from some guys giving them away in a promo while we were there.
We walked quite a long way around the city and made our way to the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. We walked to the centre of the bridge and then back again to the city. It was a really good view of the city from the bridge. Made our way through the city and headed to the train to catch it back to the motel. Once back at the motel we spent some time having a rest and then went out for dinner.
We also had to organise all our luggage and the car as tomorrow we are heading to Washington to drop back the car and we need to pack and fit everything in our luggage cause at the moment stuff is everywhere and it needs sorting out. It’s also about a 250 km drive to get to Washington and we need to be there by 12.00pm.
