After lunch, we walked down to Liberty Hall to see the Liberty Bell, I wanted to go inside liberty hall to see where the Decleration of Independence was signed, but a ticket was required and they were all out of tickets when we arrived.
After strolling around the Liberty Hall, we walked down to the Delaware River. WE walked around for about 3 hours down town and then decided to drive to see the Rocky statue. We got the address from a tourist magazine, and the city is built in a grid system, so I figured it would be easy to find the statue. Unfortuantely, we got to a few dead ends, and had a crazy time trying to find the building. After much "recalculating" we arrived at the Art Museum where the famous stairs are. The statue used to be at the top of the stairs, but now it is near the road and the sidewalk.
It was a really fun trip. It was neat to see all the old building and imagine what took place in Philadelphia hundreds of years ago.
Walking through the streets of Philadelphia reminded me of the scenes from the movie Invincible. All the streets we went down had houses just like the movie.
thats so cool that it is so close to you... hope you enjoyed the philly cheese steak! did you take pictures??
